spacers?

I have an 04 Sedan with the stock 5 spoke rims. I have asimple question. I want my wheels to be a bit more out. So I need spacers. Where would be the best place to buy them. I want to save as money but also quality would be good. Sorry I dont really know much about spacers. So if someone can help me out that would be great

Any aftermarket tire shop would have spacers but just make sure you get the right kind of spacers so that you don't overload the studs or bearings.

Get 15mm Project Kics all the way around. They come with the studs mounted on the spacers so you don't have to remove/replace your existing studs.

5x114.3 bolt pattern
PCD = 12x1.25 is what you need

Thats a nice chunk of change just to move stock wheels. Personally I'd buy new wheels. 03-4 had the least desirable wheels of all of them IMO.

True, but the 5 spokers were the best out of what we got in 03-04. I do think that spacers would really set them off. I do like the wheels, I just wish they were 18", slightly staggered, and a little more concave in the back...

... basically, different wheels...

Actually check out ichiba version 2 spacers. They have built in stud and they are hubcentric.

Agreed, just ordered a few sets in 15mm for my wheels, can't wait to get them on the ride.

I'll sell you a set of Project Kic 15mm spacers. I'm probably going to go with 20mm in the rear

Oh boy those are some pricey spacers. I just want the wheels to be flush with the body, so what size do you think I should get?

hey your rotors are on backwards, the slots are supposed to go against the wheel spinning direction and not with. Lot of people make the same mistake. Look. http://www.stoptech.com/
