Spacers?

Hey guys i need to find some good spacers for my new rims. I have a 03 coupe and the brembo brakes take up to much room so i need spacers. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

Everyone recommends Project Kics and I don't know why. they are more expensive than H&R spacers and they arent even hubcentric! I bought the H&R spacers from a site called www.racerwheel.com and they work great

spacers

I talked to the guy at infiniti and he said that spacers can harm the car and run the risk of the wheel falling off. I dont think that it will make a huge difference. So is it safe to put spacers on?

It's not safe if you don't put longer studs. We are the wheel spacers available & studs are included.

with the Kics you don't have to replace studs.... just bolt them on and then bolt the wheel to the studs that come on the spacer.


These are 15mm front and 20mm back (I think, check my profile/posts)

We have all sizes hubcentric wheel spacers. They have the longer studs and hubcentric directly bolt-on to your car.

So you don't have to worry o-rings or studs.

Do spacers cause premature wear on other parts? i.e. bearings or anything else?
If not, it looks like a great way to improve stance... However I thought I remembered reading somewhere that it will wear out some parts of the car quicker.

Nope, All spacers are just plug and play.

hummmmmmm... i don't completely agree.

wheel spacers will affect bearing and sus wear if the offset is set too aggressively.

for most people, "plug and play" usually means the user will not need
to remove the factory studs to replace with new longer studs.
