H&R Spacers, 15mm...does this look right? [Pics]

Hey guys,

My buddy just sent me pictures of his 15mm H&R Spacers he has on his G35 Coupe. I'm thinking about picking these up from him. In the pictures, it looks like the spacers are not the exact same size as the hub. It looks a little smaller. Is it supposed to be like that? If others with 15mm H&R Spacers could chime in that'd be awesome.

thats normal, they are usually smaller than the diameter of the wheel/rotor

Just added the Kics Wide Tread spacers 20mm front / 30mm rear. But there is this screw on the front rotors that I don't know the purpose for. Does anyone know what this is for?

Spacers only require removing the wheel.

you're looking for spacers with the studs built in them. that would be project kics spacers, and the 25mm H&R spacers also come with the studs built in them. i'm not sure if any more come with the studs built in them, but these are the ones i know of.

other spacers come with extended studs. the DIY you were looking at was probably one to remove the stock studs and replace them with the extended studs.

you definetely want spacers that are hubcentric. otherwise the weight of the wheels will go on your studs, not good.

IIRC. those are there so you dont put the rear rims up front. Also do you have any pixs with the spacers installed.

Here is the pics with 30mm spacers on rear and 20mm spacers on front... Does anyone have Hub Centric Rings for sale? There are $35 bucks a pop from H&R Automotive. Read pic's name for description of pictures.

This is kind of off-topic, but do you have pics of your matte black OEM 19's? Have you posted them on the forums?
