i'm trying to get some spacers for my max before stillen open house on saturday. does anyone know of a place in orange county that sells some? and how much should i expect to be paying?

 

Try wheel warehouse, ask maxedbandit for directions

 

Yeah, Wheel Warehouse will have them and I think they cost like $1.50 each at the most...can't imagine they'd make you pay anything more than that. Ask for Brett. Directions from Irvine are:

5 North
57 North
91 West
Exit Lemon St. (I think it's listed with 2 others like Harbor and something else)
Make a left off the freeway and continue down the street and you'll see it on your left hand side 2 lights down.

 

nice, i know exactly where that's at. thanks guys.

 

try the wheelware house for sure but PEPBOYS also sell the wheel spacers..yup! PEPBOYS!

last time i called the wheelware house and asked about a set of rear spacer, they were telling me how inappropriate to use those cheap spacers and recommended me to buy the H&R spacers for $200...(although when i bought my wheels from them, they 'kindly' gave me the cheap rear spacers to fit my rear wheels..duh)

 

how big are your spacers? and how big do they go up to? i remember my dad telling me spacers are bad for your axles a long time ago, is this true? seems like it would put more stress on the axles.

 

I have a set of FOUR 5mm generic spacers if you want. I never used it b/c I had to get custom made 10mm spacers/studs for my PITA rims.

PM/email me if you want them.

Hoon- Them H&R spacers are good for a reason. Their spacer holes are designed to match the studs, therefore once mounted against the centerhub, the spacers don't give... especially important at highway speeds. Mechanics in general, are against the idea of putting anything between the wheelhub and the wheel, ask them to explain it and you'll get an earfull. But the H&R design is the next best thing for those of us who 'need' to use spacers.

I donno if the quality justifies their price

 

the BMW dealership sells them for around $35,000

 

I need wheel spacers for my new rims, although I can't see myself spending that kind of money for H&R's, the rims + tires already left me broke.
