DIY: Wheel spacer vibration fix

[redlude97]

Another option is the eibach bolt on spacers that have the hubcentric ring built in as well like the H&R setup, and they are availabe in widths down to 15mm

Thanks guys and thank God for this site!, I will remove the wheels tn, put the rings on and re-install, then go for a spin on the highway

Glad u found them! best of luck. Let us know how it goes.

Just wanted to report that I put on my M45 rims and there is no vibration at all! I thought I might have to replace the copper wire after every change but they are still doing their job by pushing the inner ring of the Ichiba V2 out about a mm, so I left them.

^ thanks, I forgot about that....

I found the same thing...
I've had my wheels on & off several times with no problem.

hey mismosh- how do those rims sit w/ your spacers? flush? i have the 15mm too and want to get the g37s- but wondering if the spacers will be an issue w/ those rims...

[mishmosh]

Very near flush in front. Slightly tucked in the rears. I do not know what offsets are on your g37 rims though. When I have my Wedsport rims, it is close to being flush.

speaking of flush, if ones rims are very flush, does this mean more dirt and debris goes up the side of ones car which could result in increased chipping and damaging of the body paint? (which will result in rust... :S).

Anybody with the Ebay spacers have experienced this problem? If so, did this fix resolve your problem?

Where the **** do you get #10 from? I been to two home depots and a lowes and none of them carry it. WTF?

[mishmosh]

I don't know if it's #10 or not, but I just used home electrical wire and stripped the insulation. It was pretty thick and if needed, could apply two.

I found some. I actually just went back to Home Depot and got 10-2 (3 insulated 10 guage wires in 1). Then I just stripped what I needed. I wasted so much time trying to find it that I didn't have time to iinstall it tonight. So tomorrow I will give this a try.

Vibration is 100% gone thanks to this DIY! THANKS! This should be a sticky BTW!

Just an update, I did this modification with the ebay spacers and it works as advertised. Thanks for the info. Next up, your clutch V2 mod....
