Like it says, I know some of you have them.
I just want to know what the difference between the $50 e-bay ones and the $150 "high end" ones is?

I searched and searched and searched but didn't find any conclusive results.

 

which ones specifically?

 

I got a set, havent put them on yet. they look nice

 

these are the ones I got

Not installed and I don't have any other spacers to compare them to so that's why I can't say if they're good or bad yet.

 

Should have got the bolt on type for your stock wheels, MUCH easier to install

 

Yea. this kind was cheaper

 

True, but do you want your whole wheel assembly to rely on a spacer? My friend had the bolt on type and it ended up snapping while he was driving . Had to get new suspension parts for that corner and body work done. He also had the good brand (H&R). Stick with spacers with extended studs.

 

The stock studs snapped or the aftermarket ones? I don't see how the stress applied to the stock studs is any different than that applied by a low offset wheel

 

from what i noticed, anything 20mm or less uses the longer bolts and the larger spacers (25mm and up) use the attached studs.

I'm dropping the car on S-Techs and I'm thinking about going 15mm in the front and 20 in the back with stock 19" rays. I don't know if 20/25 would be too aggressive and cause rubbing. I'm running 275/30/19 tires on the rear and 245/30/19 on the front so there is a bit more rubber bulging out compared to the stock 245/35/19 and 225/35/19.

what do you guys think of that setup?

 

stock is 225/40/19 and 245/40/19 BTW, you setup seems really short with the 30 series tires

 

crap, i'm running 35% sidewall, i thought that seemed strage when i was typing it.

Thanks for the heads up.

 

The studs on the spacer snapped.

 

so why would you think extended studs from the same manufacturer wouldn't snap?

 

personally i think its all about torque. Some people over-torque their wheel lugs like crazy, it's no wonder they sheer right off.

I'm going to go ahead and order the e-bay wheel spacers, see what happens.

Thanks for what input I got.

 

That would be my guess as well, especially since they were H&R's.
