Hey my rims have like 1mm of clearance from my Brembos, so I went an got some spacers from Autozone.. These --> Dorman/AutoGrade 2 pcs. 5/16 in. thick 4 1/2 - 5 1/2 in. bolt circle 5 lug wheel spacer (711-914) | Disc Brake Wheel Spacer | AutoZone.com


They're 5/16" or 7.9mm an they're 'universal', I put it on one rim a lil earlier jus to see if it'll fit, an it does.. but has any1 ever messed with these? Any Pro/Cons? They didn't seem to solid on the lugs, like cuz of the holes it can jus shift left an right an i move it a lil.. I put the rim on an it seemed solid, but I can see it when I'm standin nex to my car

anybody with some spacers got somethin better? Or are they all kinda like this??

 

i got some the same size off ebay, their steel. i didnt have any problems with them i just got open end lugs so they would def tighten down. Had em on for probably 20k miles

 

I think will had some universals in the rear. i had 5mm h&r ones made for saabs. same exact thing. the H&R's were top notch

 

no reason to get 5/16" spacers. get some 3mm(1/8") ones and youll have plenty of room.

 

I got those cuz otherwise I'd have to order somethin an wait for it to come in..all the local stores got the same thing/size.. these make my wheels up front poke out 2 much tho, like if I keep these, id go an get some more for the back jus to line em up


Would I be good at this depth tho? In terms of driveability, stability an all that good ****?? Or should I jus learn some patience an order some slimmer ones?

 

I hope you have extended studs for that thickness... I barely feel comfortable running my 5mm ones on stock studs. I had universal ones but i ended up cracking one in half and breaking a stud too. I just waited and spent the extra $ on some from CED. Just my 2cents masta

 

If you want the best quality and SAFETY, get custom made hub-centric spacers. I actually have a spare set of 5mm thick hub centric ones that were too thin for my application. If the wheel you have has a 73mm bore, I would sell them to you cheap.

If you need another bore size, check out Motorsport-tech.com. They are pretty legit and mine are top quality. Don't mess around with cheap-o AutoZone crap or generic spacers. They will vibrate to no end at high speeds and will crack as someone else has already experienced.

Edit: Pic of my spacers...

 

i (lsj though) got mine from crateenginedepot.com they were drilled out perfectly to fit smooth on ur hub and lugs. i think 5mm just enough to make a difference, but thats all our stock lugs can handle.

 

5mm is max for stock wheel studs.

Got a pic of the CED ones?

 

My hub is 65.1


I ended up jumpin on these cuz most of the ones I saw were universal anyway, so I was all like.. meh..

The ones I got were 7.92mm so damn I shouldn't even drive it around yet huh? Lol it did tighten down.. but not really like I wanted

 

Yeah, the hub of the car is 65.1, I'm talking about the center bore of the wheel.

Definitely don't ride around on those spacers without longer wheel studs!!!

 

i dunno >.<

 

Just get some 3mm ones.

 

im bout to order some

 

get the ones from ced, or powell

 

jus ordered some 5mm ones.. I wanna be able to put my center cap on says it should be in Friday

 

Found some 5mm for a good price but my question is do they need to be hub-centric since there so small and the wheel is still on the hub??

 

dont have to be, but id still get some that are.

 

what would be a good offset for alittle poke on the tc rims? i was thinking 15mm?

 

sounds about right. hope you have extended studs :p lol

 

just put on 10mm universal spacers all around + i replaced all my studs with extended studs(blackworks retrofit lmao) no problems as of yet

 

those tc rims are 18 by what(18x7.5)??? if so i would so a 15mm like youre thinking

 

yea t/c wheels are 18x 7.5. s/c are 18x7.0

 

yea 15mm...might have to roll the fender a little more than it already is but it would look cool

 

ok sweet lol so 15mm and extended studs? thats wont give me any problems?
