i searched on ebay and got overwhelmed with the amount of types, brands, and sizes of wheel spacers available.

just wondering what you guys may be running to give me a better idea of the mm size i should get and what kind i should purchase.

i am dropped on h&r in front only/tokico and have entire stillen 03 lip kit with lexus rx 330 18" rims.

thanks in advance to any that can help

 

id say h&r or eibach and the size depends on what u want. got any pics of the car?

 

ill be able to post some pics tomorrow and will do. what do you have?

lol i just have basically run out of things to do cosmetically which is what i like best. i cant help but notice how bad the rear wheel looks resesed in the way it is on mine.

 

wheels with the correct offset > spacers.

true story

 

i know i know, but at the time in 03 when i got the car, the mille miglias were getting harder and harder to find and i did not like the rivets in them any way. wanted to keep it looking stock and there were no 6th gen or g 35 or many of the other rims people now use so i had them machined to fit over our hub and have been rocking them ever since. i love them personally.

anyway, ill get those pics as soon as i can.

 

Eibach Prokit Springs/Illumina Struts, H&R 15mm in the rear, OEM 5.5gen wheels:

 

and with the spacers you need new lug bolts?

 

The lug nuts are the same OEM ones I've always used. The spacer kit comes with longer studs to replace the ones on the hub. This allows the clearance for the spacers and the wheel.

 

H&R, Eibach, and Ichiba seem to be the most popular. You definitely want the extended studs.

Those stockers pictured above with the 15 mm spacers look pretty good, IMO, and maybe if he added a 5 mm to the front that would probably complete the look.

 

k sorry for delay, but here are some shots. they are decieveing however. i think the front wheel is pretty flush with front fender and in person you can clearly see the rear is almost recessed in the rear fender but these shots kind of make it look like it already has spacers. what do you think?

 

Those wheels look really good on the car. I would say at most a 5mm spacer for the rear, because you have to take into account the lip inside the well but it's hard to tell since we can't see the top of the well in those pictures. I'd go from a 15mm to a 20mm on my rears, but I'd rub for sure.

 

thanks they went on in 2004 and been going strong ever since. i love the upgraded yet stock look they give.

 

ok that is a pic of the front wheel that clearly comes out further than the rear. i took a ruler in an attempt to measure the distance but it just wont come out in pic. any how if i put the ruler flush and flat on the spoke and run it up the wheel till it hits the fender you can see it hits right in the middle of the flap of the fender. i have no rubbing issues

 

however with the same method with the ruler in the rear it misses the fender flap all together and slips right past it with about 1/8 inch to spare



so do you think i could maybe go larger than the 5mm? here are some more pics of top of fender

 

what do you think? thanks in advance

 

well i have my brake upgrade in the mail and on its way and want to get all this done at once since ill have most of it disassembled to change rotors anyway.

do you guys think i could fit 15mm on these? sorry i dont know how to tell but really want that ressesed look gone! i measured the front wheel off the fender (i know crude way because front and rear fender not the same but) and for the rear to be flush off the fender as well and match the front its about 10mm difference. but i wanted the rear wheels to be just slighly more than flush.

what do you guys think. i took every angle pic i could to show it all. thanks in advance
