Wheels spacers?

[Jezz_S13]

Does anyone have the facility to make me some wheel spacers?

Or failing that have any idea where I can get some ones that are for the S13, not crappy generic ones?

I have got some crap ones, but they are not balanced, too thick (5mm), the ID it 10mm bigger than the hub and the OD is down on the seating face diameter of the wheel.

Oh and they are not flat, infact they are pretty crap TBH.
BTW they are the ones halfords sell should you be thinking of buying some.

I want ideally some FLAT 3mm spacers with 150mm OD, 67mm ID and 12 mm clearance holes for the studs at 114.3 PCD. Any sensible material will do.

Anyone have any ideas or the kind of working environment that lends itself to such extra curricular perks?

Oh, and ideally wouldn't really want to pay more than £10-15.

Cheers,
Jezz.

What are the downsides of fitting spacers? I have 7.5x18 rims so am considering fitting some to get the wheels further out into the arches. Does it upset the geometry and do you have to get special lengthened studs? I though of getting some 5-7mm ones or is this too big?

I dunno entirely, the reason I want them is to clear my 300zx calipers. I'm running 5mm at the min with no problems (other than they are physically crap). A few are running 6mm spacers, someone 19mm.

I cant see there being too much of a problem running 5-7mm, you can get longer studs, which is probably worth doing TBH, I haven't yet but will do as 5mm is about half the amount the wheel nuts used to srew on. They are 80p each.

Im using ****ty generic spacers too - 6mm thick.

They're a pain in the arse - not flat, balanced and the wheel doesn't locate on the hub properly so you always get a little vibration...

I think it'll be difficult to make some that'll fit well without boring out the centre of the wheel to fit a slightly larger hub (due to the spacer) - does that make sense?

Anyway, if anyone knows where I can get some decent one I'd be v grateful...

H&R make the best spacers. They're hub centric, balanced, very high quality and designed specifically for for the car. Just ordered some myself (guess who from ;))
