I'm thinking about buying some wheel spacers on ebay, thinking "how can you really mess up this piece of metal?" anyways what are everyone's thoughts on something like that? will they rust? will they warp?

i found these

 

The trouble with the ones on Ebay, they don't give a make or part#. They look good, but you have to be concerned with the studs and threads into the spacers and the composition.
I know if I were buying spacers like that I would want to know the manufacturer so I could research it a bit.

If they were just thin spacers without the need for studs I wouldn't be concerned but I would if they were thicker and required the studs threaded into the plate.

 

^ okay thanks.. someone recommended me 25mm spacers due to my wheels not being flush.. here are a couple of pics can someone tell me what they would use? i know you can't be 100% but just as a reference.



I just found these on ebay as well.. they are 15mm and are TCsportline (idk?)

whats your offset?

 

I'm not sure as I bought them used.. they are sevas s-22 w/ coupe offsets

 

im thinking 15 or 20mm

 

okay do you suggest I get some namebrand ichiba over these ebay ones? also where's the cheapest place to pick up a set of ichiba 20mm? Should I run 15mm front and 20mm rear?

 

Do not get no-name generic ebay ones. Go with H&R, Eibach, KICS, or Ichiba when it comes to that style.

 

okay cool i'll stay away from the noname ones

 

elayman, think about it.
these spacers go between the wheels/tires & the rest of the car.
now, imagine if the studs broke. how much fail would that be?
definitely better safe than sorry in this instance of aftermarket parts.

 

yea good call
