I'm thinking about ordering the H&R wheel spacers just to give the standard 15"wheels a wider stance. Has anyone installed them and if so what is your impression of them.

thanks

H&R is the choice to go with. You will notice an improvement, well worth it in my opinion.

 

I used cheap spacers for almost four months while the H&R were on backorder. I got mad steering wheel vibrations on the highway. As soon as I put in the H&R the vibrations went away. I recommend them highly. Hubcentric is the only way to go IMO.

 

Thanks, I appreciate the comment about experience with wheel spacers. I'm going to order them now.

 

are spacers needed if you have the correct offset's?

 

No. Spacers are used to lower a given offset. If you have a wheel that has an offset of 42 and you run it in conjunction with a 5mm spacer you would effectively have a 37 offset (42 less 5 = 37). So, if the wheels you are running have the "correct" offset then there is no need for spacers.

 

You will be very pleased with your H & R spacers!

 

I have spacers that can be made hubcentric from Japan. They are sick. The metal hubring part is actually modular, meaning you can get different diameters. This will alleviate vibration.

They are billet machined. I'll see if I can get some in.

$115.00 shipped per pair with hubrings
15mm
20mm
25mm

30mm - $135.00 shipped per pair with hubrings.

 

so is that you on eBay then ENDLESS? someone is selling imported hubcentric wheel spacers all the way up to 30mm

 

No that's not me, but link me so I can see please.

Do the stock wheel studs extend past the 25mm spacer? Has this been a problem for anyone?

 

The Spacers I can acquire and have already ordered for you guys from Japan are "STUDDED SPACERS". Meaning they have another set of studs in them. This way you do not need to waste time pressing in longer studs etc....

The spacers I've ordered also are hubcentric to alleviate those terrible probabilities of vibration.

The biggest spacer I would suggest getting is like 3-5mm max maybe. You need to get at least 6 full turns or so to be right.

hey endless you got pics for these spacers?? am interested...

 

sounds good but a 25mil will push the tires out quite a bit well maybe dependant upon offset , tire size and ride height so never mind it may not be a problem at all

 

I ended up getting 1 pair of 20mm spacers on ebay that had new studs already pressed in. they are hub centric and came with new lugs. it was $81 with shipping. the factory lugs stuck out about .25" so I had to cut the lugs with a cut off wheel. the lugs still went on and had 7 turns at least. my wheels are a +45 offset so 20mm brought the rear out to give the stace a good look.

 

I just got our shipment for Silvias and RX7's. i'll post up pics in a short while.
