Custom made spacers

[tweazy]

So here I am again on my quest to find a 1/2 inch hubcentric spacer and I run into this site that makes custom spacers. I am about to submit my order but I need some input from you guys.

Here is what I want (this is only going to the rear wheel):
1/2" spacer
60.1 hub (bore)
5x114.3 bolt pattern
60.1 wheelcentric lip (this is where the wheels will rest on)

My dilemma is that I am not sure if I want the wheelcentric lip to be 60.1. The wheel's centerbore is 73.1 so... should I just change it to that so that I dont need to use hub centric rings on the spacer?

If .5 inches are 12.700 mm, then why not just get 10 or 15 mm spacers an call it a day.


I wa running a 15 mm on my old solara and my camrys with a 8.5 width wheel and a +40 offset to begin with.

Im in the middle of needing/wanting spacers.

My new wheels dont touch the strut, but im just a little worried. I have about 10-15mm max that i could push out my wheels, and about 10-15mm before i touch the strut. Im just a little woried and caucious to actually drive without spacers....what do you think? Milt?

PS, i do not know the offset of my rims
But tires are currently 215/5017 (that i tested with) but i want to purchase 45 series tires...

^ If you have that much clearance, spacers are unnecessary

I actually have the H&R 15mm hubcentric spacer but it is about 2mm too wide. my offset is +38 and it looks too flushed to the fender and I'll have to shave just about the entire fender (inner) to prevent rubbing.

10mm is too close to my coilovers. right now, my 8.5" wide rims are about 1/4" away from the coilovers.

I tested a 1/2" spacer and it gave the best fitment. but my current spacer is not hubcentric and theres too much wobble/vibration. what makes the wobble worse is that the wheels use extended thread lugs.

Here is the website by the way:

www.skulte.com

they specialize in Domestics (american) cars.

Do the spacers have the built in studs?

[redgen1]

nah, but they do come with them - you have to remove the hub to install the longer studs.

Shave the fenders and drop bigger spacers. it will make your car look hot.

My +35 in the rear needed the fender line shaved. And i still have about.. maybe 3-4 mm between rim and strut. lets say i cant put my index finger thru.

Same here...I can't even fit a finger in between my strut and wheel, but it works.

Have you guys run into problem with the strut being too close to the wheel? I'm a little worried that it's that close.

I haven't driven my car past 75mph since I had my 19" rims. I've been very careful.
