thanks lance! i have been looking all over for these. you guys are gonna love what im doing to the car with these...

New Edge 01-10-2007 07:12 PM

though which would you recommend, mm or eibach

r3dn3ck 01-10-2007 08:45 PM

pick one. they're all pretty well the same. Mm's are H&R's made in germany. I'd imagine Eibach's are too.

i wouldn't really recommend wheel spacers. I'm sure you have a great idea in mind and it will look pretty bad ass but I have seen some pretty bad things happen with people using wheel spacers like wheels falling off. Just make you sure you put them on correctly

Good God those are way too wide!

I can get you my old spacer's for around $50 if your interested.I just have to find the guy that has them.They are H&R's 35mm.

New Edge 01-12-2007 06:52 PM

no they aren't they are the size that i need for the wheels i am running soon
all my decisions are based on previous people's experiences on svtp
you will see soon what i am doing but until then i just need to know if these spacers are going to hold up quality wise in comparison to h &r or eibach's

Lances03SVT 01-12-2007 08:46 PM

I'd go with these and I am once I get the 315's........

lance i am wideninng my wheels to 10.5 so i have to make up for the added backspace. i am doing it at weldcraftwheels.com jsut like a few people at svtp have done. i need at least a 40mm spacer or 45mm spacer for sure.
i just want to know if these are good quality. i already have decided that it is the right size i just want to know if it is a good deal

Lances03SVT 01-13-2007 07:32 AM

LOL Ahh I see now.

Don't know if I would trust the EBay spacer's or not.I have'nt heard anyone using them and I like to use part's that I trust.I'd do the MM's,Eibach,or H&R's because of that reason.

r3dn3ck 01-13-2007 07:40 AM

nobody here has used a 40+ on our cars that I can see and pretty much everyone here uses H&R made spacers... H&R makes all of em I've ever seen in fact.

So, like the man said... ebay: eh... not sure if I'd do that. 45mm... your call. Those LOOK like good units, they look like the H&R kits and I would not be surprised if they were. Call em up and ask if the spacers are german made by H&R or not. If not I'd pass and call up Maximum Motorsports to get a set from them.

New Edge 01-13-2007 04:24 PM

thanks for the opinions. the problem is i am a poor 18 year old and the cheapest price means a lot. the "brand name" ones are 100 dollars more so i am definately considering these ebay ones.

mustngspd 01-13-2007 05:33 PM

i bought my wheel spacers from ebay. i bought the 1.5 inch spacers and havent had a problem yet

r3dn3ck 01-14-2007 08:17 AM

if you can't afford to pay... don't play. First rule of modding. If you can't swing the cash to fix it twice, don't mod it. That's the mistake... you are under the impression that you can go a "cheap" route and have it be anything but an abject failure. Sorry to say but price usually directly affects quality in my experience. Cheap mods are just that, and usually worth that much.

I'd be worried about the quality. However, you can call up the sellers business and ask where they're made. If it's germany, then buy them. If it's China or anywhere else in the far east as a whole, run away as fast as you can.

WhitePony 06-28-2007 02:17 PM

so how do you install wheel spacers?

does anybody have a install thread?

r3dn3ck 06-28-2007 02:20 PM

just exactly like installing wheels but twice. You'll figure it out... trust me. A blind man could feel it, scratch his head and slap it together.

WhitePony 06-28-2007 02:33 PM

oh awesome...
i was searching on google for an install thing and they has to take the disk brake off and then put it on. but that was a pos nissan.

Do my rims need to have indents on the back for the studs to go in or anything?

r3dn3ck 06-28-2007 03:06 PM

depends on the size of the spacer. 30mm usually no, less usually yeah.

If the studs on your axles are too long use a cutoff wheel or a hacksaw and a file to cut and smooth the ends. Mine had been cut off by the previous owner of my axle... saved me bunch of trouble.
