Spacers - DC5R

[MrThanh]

im thinking of getting 20/25mm spacers from here

The reason why H&R spacer kits are 1000% more expensive than any other spacer manufacturer is because of the following; Here are some facts -

- All spacers are very very lightweight, strong and does not corrode and breakapart using the best material grade - Forged Magnesium.

- High tensile bolts are spec and measured for standard factory bolts re-fitment. As long as you don't put a torque gun to it, they will never fail or break vs. soft rubbish factory bolts.

- Each spacer kit is designed for each specific vehicle. Ensuring perfect fitment, with no substandard fitment found with "universal" spacer products. So, you pay for engineering and safety above all.

what's the benifit of using high quality spacers?

the same reason why people prefer Volk/Rays/Work wheels to stuff from Ozzytyres?

Are you serious ? you don't know why volk wheels are so expensive ?

its not cause there exclusive, its cause there forged light weight and stronger than any cast wheel replica.

These spacers that you bolt to your hub (rather than the floating type) - are these still illegal and would you run into insurance problems if your car was found with them in an accident?

yes. All spacers are illegal unless they are fitted as OEM.

... in NSW anyway...

The only exception is unless you get a proper engineer certificate.....Thats what I find out....In VIC tho...dunno about other states....

will it be too short for the lug if you put 10mm spacer?
coz i was told that it will be dangerous to just even put 10mm spacer coz the lug will be too short and the nuts wont be able to keep your wheels safe

A 10mm slip on spacer on stock studs is not safe, the wheel nuts will barely be threaded on if at all. You can either get a longer wheel studs pressed in, or get bolt on spacers.

Go to see Chris@Wheels Revolution at Moss Street(if u r in Brisbane), they do customize spacer with the correct hub center with the wheel and hub.

[vippy84]

is 5mm slip on spacer alright for dc5r?

[JDM_DC5R]

Yeah 5mm fits fine, you can go 8mm max before there is not enough thread.

[m0nty]

they're $250 a pair because they come with extended lugs, and of course, the brand. I doubt you will be able to bolt the wheel on if you don't extend the lugs. Do you really want to cheap out on the bits that hold your car to the road?

QFT.

I have 18mm Isotta spacers front and rear. They cost around the same. You don't stooge when it comes to this kind of stuff.

we are using autobarn spacers, there shit won't fit 4x100. THey need grinding and cutting to make em fit.
