Project Kics spacers needed

I need to buy either 15/20mm or 20/25mm Project Kics for my OEM 19s. I want them to include the hubcentric rings.
If I get the 20/25mm will this work with an H-tech drop without any rolling of fenders?
As well where can I buy these for cheap?
Thanks

jason, either the project kiks or the eibachs. I think ive settled for the 15/20mm. What will the prices be for both, including the hubcentric rings shipped to 11756?

What kind of wheels do you have that you are going to need hubcentric rings? They will be hubcentric to the stock wheels... but anything aftermarket I will need to know the size hubrings to get you, just let me konw the wheels and I will look it up...

If you are getting 15mm / 20mm you have 2 options... eibach has 15 & 20 wheel ADAPTERS that will bolt onto the wheel hub. You will not have to press in new hub bolts this way!

They will both be hub-centirc & wheel centric to your factory wheels or aftermarket with hub-rings... just one is much more labor to install...

There are no negatives if you run Hub-Centric & Wheel Centric spacers.

If you run the flat washer type spacers you can have issues from off centered wheels (vibration) to the hub bolts breaking off if the wheel hits a pot hole or something.

If you do not want to do more labor, then get the adapter type spacers. The ones that require longer hub bolts require you to remove the brake calipers, rotors, tap out the old hub bolts and pull through the new hub bolts.

nope! because the PROPERLLY CONSTRUCTED spacers (Hubcentric & wheel-centric) extend the factory wheel hub...

This spacer below is what the EIBACH 10mm spacers are like... They fit snugly around the factory wheel hub. the part sticking up basically extends the wheel hub to match exactly what the wheel hub looks like before the spacer is put on...



no need for a hubring since its built into the spacer!

A spacer like this (H&R/ EIBACH / ICHIBA / PROJECT KICS) 5mm spacer is like this... its hubcentric to the wheel hub, but does not create the hub for the center bore of the wheel to fit securely on. WIth nothing holding the wheel centered and taking the stress off the wheel hub bolts, the wheel can break off the hub bolts if impacted



in this image you can see the wheel hub that sticks out past the rotor... this is what the wheel sits on and keeps the wheel centered and stress off the lug nuts...

If you look at this image from a 350z race car, you can see a larger hub extension has been installed, and the wheel adapters are bolted on...

the longer hub extension keeps the wheel centered and stress off the hub bolts... the hub bolts / lug nuts just keep the wheel pressed against the wheel hub, and the hub keeps the wheel secured...



you can see how this works once the wheel is installed...



on street wheels, you do not see the hub center sticking through the wheel like this, but this will give you an idea on how it functions...
