Since H&R spacers are perpetually out of stock, I asked my friend's dad to make a pair for me (stupid high offset SSR's not clearing the 300ZX calipers!!). Anyway, I thought they came out great and thought I'd show them off. I bought a set of Nismo studs to go along with them. Overall, it was cheaper than 15mm H&Rs but my friend's dad gave me a discount since he used a piece of scrap aluminum to do the job (I didn't realize blocks of aluminum are so damn expensive!).



They are 1/2" thick, and I forget the rest of the dimensions.


P.S. The studs are just resting in the holes -- they weren't pressed in or anything crazy like that.

 

Nice! But someone is going to copy them in aluminum

Get those BBKs on brutha!

 

coulda just bought spacers for a mustang

 

not sure how much you paid for the "scrap" aluminum, but the mustang ones might have been cheaper since they are more common.

I'm confused, these are made out of aluminum.

Cheapest set of mustang spacers I could find that would fit my needs are the MMWS-4's: http://www.maximummotorsports.com/spacers.asp. After you figure in shipping costs, I paid roughly 1/2 of what those are selling for. And cheapo generic universal spacers don't count

 

Why not? they achieve the same purpose unless you are dealing with hubcentric wheels

 

Well, I've never seen cheapo spacers larger than 1/4". Also, I have some cheapo ones in the back, and while they are ok, when you get to large thicknesses I just feel like you should have more metal pressing the wheel to the rotor than what the generic ones offer (especially when you have a BBK in the front). The ones I had made have a larger diamtere than the cheapo ones. Plus, they look like crap and would only be marginally cheaper than what I had made. But hey, to each his own. The ones I bought for the rear were $10 each and I'd need 2 for each side for the front so that's basically what I paid for my nice ones.
