Wheel Spacers........

I'm looking to buy a set of spacers for my 96 Max. Right now I have 225/40/18's and I want to have a 235-245 "look". What is a good size to get and does anyone know where to get them fairly cheap?

Anything over 5mm and you'll need longer studs, which means H&Rs or nismo studs, both of which are $$$. You should be able to find generic 5mm spacers (or 3/16", same difference really) at your local tire shop for cheap.

Good luck finding H&Rs. 8 weeks ago they told be 4-6 weeks and they'll have some more. Today I called and they said the same thing...... 4-6 weeks.

Check out these guys:

They make custom wheel spacers. I've been trying to call for a few hours now and they aren't there.

Are going to even notice 5mm of difference?

It might sit a tiny bit further out, but the tire sitting on the wheel itself will not look any different.... make sure that you really think it'd make difference before doing this.

Thanks Mizeree_X for your help. Those mustang spacers are just as much as the JDM nissan spacers. My BBK from Matt isn't even here yet and all I lack is rotors and spacers. I'm just going to buy the rotors now and hopefully in 3-4 weeks the H&R spacers will be back in stock..... but I dought it. It all comes to worst I'll be get the nissan spacers ($100 shipped) off ebay and nismo studs ($71 shipped) from Courtesy. I'll only be paying lke $50 more, but atleast I'll have spacers.
