wheel spacers on ebay, any good?

These wheel spacers are sold on ebay. I was just wondering if anyone knows how these compare to the h&r spacers? These are hub-centric. And also do you guys know what size wheel studs I will need for these 25mm spacers, and where to buy them? Thanks.

it might sound stupid... but are these just to make ur wheels stick out more?

It is ok to have these in? or should I not bother because I have a set which is sitting around...

Most people install them because they do not like the tucked in look. You can see here

or you can go to www.vqpower.com and take alook there.

I think your 20 mm spacer is about 3/4" (old school). Just measure your stock studs and get studs 20mm or 3/4" longer.

As long as the spacers are machined properly (eibach & H&R) you will be fine, they machine the widest spacers available w/o losing reliability in hub centric application. Also the cheaper ones on the market are not 100% flat.....if you lay one on the table, you can see grooves in them which will magnify and shake 10 times more on the road.

many use..
clearance.. such as BBK or other stuff
i got mine to fit the center caps on my wheels
also.. i believe it helps a bit with handeling
but if your wheel spaceser are too thing you might need to get long lugs also

You need to confirm this with other org members, but I'm pretty sure your stock studs are 42mm so if you're getting 20mm spacers these 60mm studs are the ones you want.

I wouldn't buy those. I bought a set but had to return them because they did not fit tightly on the hub. I suggest buying H&R w/ built in studs.
