Default 8mm wheel spacers?

Im looking for 8mm and 5mm wheel spacers for my tc. For those who got em, what brand should I get and where should I get them? I've seen some on eBay. Are they any good? I know h&rs and ichiba are pretty good but I don't think the make em in 8mm. Thanks

I don't think you can get 8mm unless you get custom. H&R makes 5mm, 10mm, 15mm, 20mm... and probably more than that.

I would not be trusting random, generic ebay spacers. Ever.

Yes I am. and I bought them off ebay...they work like a charm. They are universal. Anyways at that size no one makes them hub centric because they are to thin...

So basically you just slap them on a put your wheels on? No bolts required? Do you feel any vibration at higher speeds?

Since you're in PH you can go to national city.. Ronnie's Electronics on Highland. They sell different sizes of spacers. I got mine for $10 a spacer.

i have 5mm spacers on my front wheels, i picked them up for $10 each locally and so far so good. I needed them due to my wheels not clearing Wilwood BBK.

with a 5-8mm spacer is there enough of the hub ring still exposed to fit hub centric rings? I would like to pick up a set but not if it is going to make the hub flush, putting all the pressure on the studs.
