Sooooo H&R spacers, anyone messed with them?

dmhenderson · 02-07-2013, 08:12 PM

Whoops I already made this thread. Let me re-read it.

dmhenderson · 02-07-2013, 08:25 PM

So again, what I'm looking for is :
-Safe
-Looks good with the car not lowered
-Tires don't extend past the fenders.

Can I get a consensus here?
I'm looking at H&R 20mm all the way around?

Are DRM the ones with stud replacements or is that DRS?

dmhenderson · 02-07-2013, 08:38 PM

Also need recommendations on where to buy them for the least amount of money. Any/all suggestions would be helpful.

(also I'd like to get these before the 18th so I can have D&V throw these on while the wheels are off the car. I get super nervous with those powdered wheels)

Send a PM to Jomer here on the forums. He ships out pretty fast (from PA I believe) and always has great prices.

I got my dash kit for the Altima from him within 3 days. Did the whole transaction over the phone.

dmhenderson · 02-07-2013, 10:09 PM

Emailed him. Thanks.

Ok so I'm about to buy these things. I think I'm going to do 15f/20r.

Can anyone tell me if this is going to look good with the car not lowered? I really don't want to do this and have it come out looking awkward.

Masa · 02-08-2013, 08:34 AM

15/20 unlowered will be fine.

A lot of the guys lowered are running 20/20 or even 20/25.

dmhenderson · 02-08-2013, 08:37 AM

Right because lowering needs a higher offset to make the wheels sit flush. That's why I was nervous about going 20/20 with the car not on springs.

This is what I am considering. PM Happytheman or look for him in the WDYDWY Z Today (Off-Topic) thread. He has pictures of 15f/20r spacers at stock height. Looks good imo

dmhenderson · 02-08-2013, 08:51 AM

Sold.

dmhenderson · 02-08-2013, 08:51 AM

And to be clear, I want the DRM flavor with the extended lugs on an un-lowered car, right?

urdeliveryguy · 02-08-2013, 08:59 AM

i bought my spacers from z1. there good quality. and now on sale from what i see on the website.

JARblue · 02-08-2013, 09:00 AM

I'm not sure the brand is that important - I have H&Rs. I would just make sure to get extended lugs for any spacers

urdeliveryguy · 02-08-2013, 09:05 AM

yeh i dont' think brand is important... more important that the spacers are hub centric. i have the bolt on kind.. ive had no issues with them but i make sure they are properly torqued. and quality/cost wise the ones from z1 where a deal. i think if you'd want a 15mm or smaller you'd need the lug replacement kind.

dmhenderson · 02-08-2013, 09:24 AM

Do the extended lugs come with DRM spacers?
