Does anyone have a good site to buy Eibach spacers? I would like the typical 20/25 setup that most are running here but what is the best hub centric ones to get? From what I have read, Eibachs are good and others like Project Kiks. From what I have read, I should be looking at the ones with the studs inside the spacer instead of the longer wheel studs that need replacement. Is this a fair assumption?

I am running the stock 18" 6MT wheels 225 front, 245 rear.

thanks all, sorry for the noob questions - I have been reading the forums for a few hours but feel like I need a bit of confirmation from those who have installed these and know more than I do.

 

Well, according to Doug Crawford (CrawfordZcars), he told me to NEVER EVER EVER EVER use spacers with built in studs. ONLY use spacers that require replacement of the factory studs with longer ones. He said he has seen many many many problems with spacers that have built-in studs.

Of course, I'm running my second setup of Project Kics spacers on my new wheel setup.

I did happen to take my previous set offroading in my G a couple of months ago and they were all in perfect shape afterwards. Can't say that the rest of my car was, but the spacers were just fine.

many ppl say tons of bad tons of good.....owell....i would say depend on how u drive ur car.........if u go to track...then get the right set of rim.....if just a normal daily driving.....100% be fine....

 

i like the project kics...my preference

 

Anyone have any experience installing the Eibach wheel spacers? How difficult is it? I'm trying to get some of the Project Kics spacers, but every shop/site in SoCal is out or on back order. I might have to order from the east coast...

 

which eibach spacers are you purchasing? Eibach makes two types, the ones that bolt over the stock studs like the project kics, only with a built in hubcentric design, or the spacers that replace the stock studs for longer ones?

 

How difficult is it to install either of these spacers? I was thinking about purchasing the ones that bolt over the stock studs. Anyone know the pros/cons for these two kits?

 

The bolt on type are much easier to install, but can only be used with stock wheels or wheels that have the built in recesses between the lug holes to accept the portion of the stud that sticks out beyond the spacer. The other type of spacers requires removal of the rotor to access the hub behind and removal of the stock lugs in lieu of the longer studs. THese types will never loosen and are typically safer if you are never going to change them out.

 

Eibach and H&R both make great spacers... you just want to make sure you are using HUBCENTRIC with HUBCENTRIC BORE TO THE WHEEL spacers...

EIBACH and H&R 5mm spacers are HUBCENTRIC but do not have the WHEEL BORE CENTRIC RING...

Eibach makes a 10mm spacer that is HUBCENTRIC and WHEEL CENTRIC

Both company's then make 15mm / 20mm that are hub & wheel centric...

THey also make 25mm ADAPTERS>.. there are OK as long as they are HUB and WHEEL centric... some adapters do not have the wheel centric part which is asking for trouble...

 

Thanks for the advise!
