So I finally decided to get them...I have a few questions.

1 What's the best kind out there?
2.Who sells it for the best price?
3. Is the installation hard?
4. Would you recommend 25mm all around or 20mm/25mm?
5. Once I get wheels 9.5F 10.5R would 20mm/25mm be too much?
6. Any angle pictures of a Coupe with s-tech drop and 20mm/25mm


Thanks,

TurK

 

1 What's the best kind out there? You'll be fine with any name brand (Ichiba, H&R, Project Kics, Eibach). Some will even argue that you'll be okay with eBay brands.
2.Who sells it for the best price? Lotsa sponsors offer wheel spacers. I highly recommend mrwong@statik for his great prices, fast shipping, and overall awesome customer service.
3. Is the installation hard? Assuming your wheels are recessed in the back, then you can use bolt on spacers (such as Ichiba version 2 or Project Kics). They're as simple as taking your wheels off, placing the spacers in place, bolting the spacers on, and putting your wheels back on. If, however, your wheels are not recessed in the back and cannot accept bolt on spacers, then you will have to knock the stock studs out and replace them with the included extended studs, which is a bit more time consuming but shouldn't be difficult.
4. Would you recommend 25mm all around or 20mm/25mm? Depends. What are your offsets?
5. Once I get wheels 9.5F 10.5R would 20mm/25mm be too much? Depends. What are the offsets?
6. Any angle pictures of a Coupe with s-tech drop and 20mm/25mm? With what wheels?

 

Oops I guess I did leave a lot of details assuming somehow your guys knew already lol...

I have the stock 19's with the oem spec tire size, Id like to see what the oem 19s with the stech drop looks like. Not sure on the future wheels offset but assuming somewhat aggressive . I think I'm leaning more towards the project kicks and I will try to get in contact with Mrwrong

 

I'm also interested in this, i have the oem 19 rays forged wheels.

another question that might be helpful to both Turk and me is what are the advantages and disadvantages of adding a spacer?

Does it help with handeling or take away? does it change gas mileage at all?

Any effects to high speed driving (100 MPH +)?

i was thinking about doing like 15 MM or something in the front and 20 MM in the back or 20 MM all around? nothing to aggressive, just to make the wheels stand out a bit, and i thought maybe it would eliminate body role a slight amount?

also, is it safe to run with winter rims and tires, the ones i have on there right now could use like a 30 mm spacing just to get back to stock lol. but a 20 mm or so would be helpful, eitherway i don't want all of that snow spraying out.

 

good questions... and you never know when you have to do a 100 on the highway! =)

The car will look better, but expect to wash it more

It will give you a wider track which will slightly improve handling.

Sway bars reduce body role, not the spacers

I don't think there will be a problem, measure if you plan on using chains[QUOTE]

 

Nice thanks for the help guys.... Color coded and everything...very helpful.

 

Turk,

If you're interested, i have some NEW sets of 15mm and 20mm Ichiba spacers. These are the hubcentric types and come with studs and everything. I'll post to the FOR SALE forum in the next day or two, but i just want to get rid of these for about $50.00 per set (2). Thats about 60% off retail cost.

 

that sounds tempting but I was thinking about 20/25
