Does brand matter when it comes to wheel spacers?
Hey folks, I recently dropped my max and really need some spacers for the rear wheels. I ran across these on eBay and was wondering if they would work as well as the H&R's. I'm not sure if quality matters but I would rather pay an extra $50-$100 initially to avoid my wheel falling off or something while I'm on the road. Take a look and let me knwo what you guys think.
Thanks

it doesn't look bad, so that's about $100, i'm planning on buying 20mm for the rear but the only brand i found were H&R, which i thought would only be at most $119. the spacers have to be EXTREMELY precise though, i'd go for H&R to be on the safe side plus you dont save THAT much i don't think. good luck

i may end up putting 5-10mm spacers in the front too. I just want my wheels to be flush with the side of the car, not sticking out from the body but not stock either. What size should I get?

i got 20 mm H&R for the rears and I'm dropped on H-techs. I think you might be able to squeeze 25mm in there but im not sure. originally i didnt think i needed spacers for the front, but with the drop the gap is more noticable so if I were to get em id go with 10mm in the front. The rear spacers i got for $109 shipped from www.optauto.com.

the H&Rs also come with longer studs if the spacer is larger than 10mm or 15mm (not sure which). some other brands dont give you longer studs so you have to buy them seperately. thats another reason why i went with H&R.

check out wheeladaptors on ebay. I bought a set of 4 for $139. a pair of 1inch and a pair of 1.3 inch. I used anti sieze on the back of the spacer because i heard horror stories of people having to chisel thier spacers off.

I purchased a set of the 25mm spacers from Ebay. Only issues were that the threads on the lug were not perfect. Almost as if they had too thick of a coating on them that made it difficult to get the nuts on. They had to be "muscled" on or almost re-tapped. Other than that they are very nice. You'll also need open ended lug nuts as the new studs are quite long and stock nuts are not deep enough. Here's a picture.

be careful ordering those. i ordered the 20mm and got the wrong ones. the spacers fit fine, but the suds were too thin. here is the thread:

anyone know of where to get the studs other than the nismo ones? i don't want to drop another 60 just for the studs...
