Black chrome arachnid wheels installed with spacers

[Doanster1]

@Lodo1000 scrolling through previous posts, I don’t see where you mentioned which spacers you bought and from whom. If it was from Lenny/Motorsport Tech, then it has to be an installation issue as others have said. If you bought generic ones, were they 64.1mm hub-centric?

Has to be an installation problem. I’ve had them on my car for about two years and I’ve enountered no problems. But this is a safety issue. An installer who’s uncomfortable installing spacers is not one to trust.

Not sure if this is a silly question, but would there be any concerns using these on a P100D? Thanks.

No issues whatsoever. Battery pack, power, etc. has no bearing.

Finally installed. I'm glad I waited for the Grey wheels

Any close ups from the front or back to see how flush they are?



Edit: Also, would anyone know if I could get 5-9mm spacers on the stock lugs with 10.5” width in the back?

To the OP, what brand carbon fiber mirrors do you have?

 

[artsci]

These were custom made long before any of the standard vendors made them.

I know this thread is kind of old, but just wondering are those the OEM size tires that come with the Arachnids? If not, what size tires are you running Artsci?

Some longer distance and additional detail photos. The holes in the bumper are for the parking sensors, which have not yet been installed as part of the accident repairs that caused me to be without the car since late June.

wait, so i understand the holes for the bumper, but it seems your rear bumper is also the pre-facelift bumper even though you have a face-lift car??

It may be a placebo effect but I think the handling in corners is better.

I know this is an old thread but I didn’t see it addressed. It seems to me widening the stance might introduce a bit of negative camber. If the wheels were not realigned after the addition of the spacers and if there is a bit of introduced negative camber, that should make cornering just a bit better. It would be at the cost of a bit more wear on the inside portion of the tread of the tire.

Did you realign after adding the spacers?

Glad to see that someone else came around to black chrome wheels. I wrapped my turbines in black chrome in 2015.

Yes.

How has that held up over they years?

It's got a few torn spots, but overall good. Under a different name I put up some pics in the Salvage Car Owners' thread.

I want to do my wheels in black chrome, I wasn’t sold on the lifespan of vinyl on a wheel. If you’ve had it on there this long and it is still passable that sounds promising. I’d be happy getting two years out of it. I’ve been thinking about doing a “chrome delete” with the black chrome as well.

OK soI am totally overwhelmed - a bit of information overload lol! I have a MS P85D with Arachnids. If I wanted a flush / near flush look without rubbing what spacer sizes should I go with? Also the Motorsports-tech site has different design types (1-5), if recommending this site for purchase, which type should be selected? Thanks!!!!!

That’s a custom job he did himself. Fitting a facelift bumper on a pre facelift car.

Looks awesome with the spacers!

Here’s the main spacer thread that has all the info you seek. Motorsport Tech Type 3 is what you want. Have been some concerns with the stud meterial being too soft, but in general people have been happy with the company/Lenny.
MS P85D wheel spacers?

Are your Turbines staggered?

View attachment 291919 View attachment 291920 View attachment 291921 View attachment 291922 View attachment 291923 I believe the arachnids are the same fitment as the staggered turbines but I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong, I’ve gone for 20mm all round and I’d say it’s spot on and pretty much flush.
