Where can I get H&R spacers for the cheapest price at? I need to run spacers when I put on my skinny winter tires!

Tracy..

I have a set of 25mm H&R spacers and a set of 15mm Spacers (project kics) in my garage. So before you commit to buy if you want to try them on let me know.

I can meet you at Gergs one day and play around with it. Just give me a call.

I also have a set of 5mm spacers.

All the spacers I have are Hubcentric to 60.1 hub bore and have the lips to hold the wheels center with the hub rings.

Although running spacers in good quality is ok. My thing is to NOT run spacer unless its really needed. Thats why I went out of my way to order wheels that had the offsets I wanted. And the exact reason I am rebuilding my Work wheels to how I want them to fit without spacers.

But I understand not everyone can find wheels specifically to what they want. Trust me I've been down that road.

^^ does your 5mm have hub lips too?

Anyone willing to trade their 15mm for my 10mm?

Just for the record, that was a joke. Except for the part about not rubbing, that's true. :drinking:

well the spacers i have aren't for sale. I just thought you can use mine to try it out and see how they fit before you go buy yours.
I plan on keeping mine in case I need to put my stock wheels back on.

^Hahaha, I know how you feel Tracy.

I've been contemplating moving my current 15mms in rear to the front and going 25mm in place of those, but rubbing issues with the fenderWELL as opposed to my rolled fender lip are a sign to me that I should just stay as is. True flushness requires the stiffness of coilovers as well, to keep me from rubbing fenderwell with even slight weight in cargo additions.

Time for Milty and I to beat them up so I can gain some clearance.

^Thanks Kenny. I don't think a pull is needed, its just that the fenderwells need to be banged up/rounded to give m more clearance. The tires are just perfectly clearing the quarter panel/fender lip.
