Wheel Spacers 101

CBRsummer

just threw wheel spacers on the ride. absolutely love how the car looks now. and it may just be in my head, but the car actually seems smoother and turn in is noticeably better.

in my reading, i didn't see anyone mention an off brand of spacer. soooo, i went to amazon looking for something cheap that may be a quality alternative to the h&r's, eibach's, etc. before you start flaming, i did this entirely for testing purposes and the gathering of information and i was prepared to return them if they weren't perfect.

i went with 20mm in the front and 25mm in the rear. total cost was $125 and shipping was free. and yes, they were perfect. so if you're looking for a quality, cnc machined, hub centric spacer at half the cost of the h&r's, i'd highly recommend these.

the 20's fit perfectly on the front but the factory stud does stick out past the spacer. they fit because the rays have recesses in the back of the wheel that allow the wheel to sit flush on the spacer. (the post on amazon says they will not fit.)
the 25's are perfect for the rear with a 275 tire. i may end up dropping down though when i replace the rear tires with something wider next summer.
i used some antiseize on all the hubs and blue locktight on the spacers nuts only.

if you plan on keeping your factory wheels, there is no reason not to throw spacers on! do it now!
