where to buy spacers

Hey I finally got some cash and am ready to buy spacers. Where is the best place to get 5mm h&r spacers? I remember another company that was posted that had the same quality (hub centric and longer studs) spacers but were cheaper. One last dumb question, i can put the spacers on between the wheel and the rotor right?

Yes....and you can try going to www.massimoperformance.com and give them a call....they might be able to get you a set....Cuz a friend of mine went to them and got it. Oh just to let you know that they prolly won't have it on their website.

options auto says you have to order the longer studs separately, how much did those run?

Are you trying to clear your calipers or just make the wheels stick out more? Because 5mm not worth it for looks only. With 15mm spacers, H&R supplies new longer studs that need to be installed.

I must have posted before the switch.

Great product, custom CNC to your specs. Pics of my 5mm and 20mm on my homepage

the 20mm have built in studs.

i have some 5mm spacers that i can sell. By all means they aren't high quality but if you're looking for a cheap solution just PM me.

i have the machined ones from www.crowautomotive.com now so i won't need them.

the 5mm H&R supposed to come with the longer studs in the kit, thats what mine had. It was around $55 or so for a pair. If your looking for looks then you need more than 5mm to stand out. I needed 5mm so that my rims wont rub. btw, the cheap universal spacers may cause vibrations and all sorts of junk since they are not hub centric and will just hang on the lugs lop-sided rather than perfectly balanced in the center like the H&Rs. you get what you pay for
