I did a search and found people interested in them, but no comments from users.

Anyhow, I'd like to bring out the rear whls on my 4th gen to match the fender clearance of the fronts (about 10mm or so). I know about the H&R's, how they work etc. I don't mind paying the money for the good wheel spacers provided they are trouble-free. Any comments?

TIA

I don't have the H&R's

but I bought a pair of $2 ones from a local wheel and tire shop. They were only 10mm (1cm) thick and I'm pleased with the results. I threw some 95 SE wheels on my 89 Mazda 626. The rear tires were a slightly rubbing the strut cartridge so wheel spacers solved my problem. Plus the rear wheels look better at a slightly wider stance. I'm going to try and get a set of 4 for my Maxima since I'll be doing the Wilwood upgrade and don't want any trouble. As far as the spacers go, handling has improved, no vibrations, and no regrets.

I have them on my car. My wheels are 18x7.5 with a +45mm offset so they were "tucked in" at first. I used 15mm in front and 20mm in the rear and boy does it make a HUGE difference. The car looks WAAAAAY better than before. The H&R spacers are of great quality and the best thing is that they come with longer wheel studs to replace your OEM ones. IMHO, you shouldn't get wheel spacers (depending on how wide you wanna go) without having longer wheel studs cuz even with just a 10mm spacer, quite a few threads on the lug nut will be unused - not good. Anyway, I got them for about $115 A PAIR (I forget the exact price) - around $230 for all 4 wheels through Options Auto. I have ZERO problems and complaints with them. =)

Thanks.... Yeah, 15mm is roughly the difference I measured between the front and rear. The rear does look too far in, esp compared to the front. I'll use the studs too if necc.
