20mm H&R Wheel spacer install How-To and Pics

Well I finally got around to creating a how-to for the H&R wheel spacer 20mm for the rear wheels. This didnt take too long. I'd say a couple of hours to do both wheels. The first one took us awhile to figure everything out and to take the pictures. Here you go guys. Enjoy! Oh you'll see Cullen Jones another member of the org who owns a 4th gen in here too.

Awesome write up. Man there has got to be a better way to get those studs in thought. Everyone always said don't get anything, but spacers that are hubcentric, but what makes them hubcentric and are those hubcentric?

Like Carabuser said.... where did you guy them and how much.

Nice write up! Are there any far away rear end pictures? How does it affect handling, any?

I actually got these from a member on the org. But you can buy these at optauto. Here is the website....

Yeah these are hub centric. I think that is the only type that can be used on our cars or can be used on our cars safely.

It only affects it very slightly. My dual 20mm's on the front increase my front track width 2.6%. That reduces understeer. Widening the rear has the opposite effect creating a touch more understeer. Front spacers should slow acceleration but we're talking minor amounts since they're so close to the wheel center.

Awesome write-up.

I really need to get rear spacers even though I have 19x8.5's in the rear.

awesome write-up, looks a lot better than stock.

someone had a problem with the 18" wheels, would it be better to go bigger with 19" wheels?

just a question to that, i have 1/2 spacers with nismo studs and my fronts and nothing in the rear does that slow down my acceleration?

Yes but probably only .05sec in the 1/4. Are you running lightened lugnuts? Why not? That's the same idea.
