Doin some work, what r the best spacers/$

[Thrwnsprkz]

Hey I don't wanna be flamed for posting about this topic, but Im doing alot of bodywork to my car (including fenders) this winter and I'm looking for Spacers for my stock SE wheels. (I searched the forum and I came up with a few informative posts (but they were ended abruptly since noone likes repeated topics) I see that H&R makes them, I've heard Nismo does too, but I havnt seen any specs on them or what different sizes they come in. any other companies make quality products?

Also the wheels studs will have to be lengthened, any companies have any deals/ kits or sales right now? If not whose got the best price

Thanks guys, I appreciate it: Jon

spacers on stock wheels?

what body work did you do? widebody? if so, that makes putting spacers on stock wheels even more of a joke.

if you want GOOD spacers, not crappy ones, only one choice.http://www.wheelspacer.com

high quality, machined, and made to the exact specs you want (including hubcentric).but again. spacers on stock wheels will look stupid. are we talking s13 or s14 here.

I think it looks decent enough. Better than stock. If you have 'em, and you need run stock wheels, why not space them out?

Its an S14, and I don't think it'll look bad.Im flareing the fenders a bit before I prep and repaint the car this winter. Eventually I figure the car will look pretty good when I put on a set of wheels w/ a lower offset. Untill then I'm just rideing on a set of Gunmetal SE 5-lugs.Thanks: Jon

widebody with 16's. man... that will look terrible, plus you'll need like 30mm or more spacers.

just get some FN01RC's or something... 17x10 +12 rear 17x9 +15 front. just to hold you over until you can get real wheels. those wheels will cost you less than $1,000.

Yea I know, Im still looking for wheelsMy ideal is a set of Super Advan 17x9 with a polished blue lip. but their a lil pricey...I just use my stocks for my drift tires right now. I had a set of 18's I bought for $300, but they had a terrible offset so I sold them even cheaper (I burned off the rubber) I only used them to get too and from events safely.but neway I was only hopeing that spacers whould make up for the gap between the fenders... you can't argue w/ OEM quality i love my wheels, and untill I save up enough for a nice set I think that it'll look ok.

That links got some really nice spacers btw, thanks... Im going to take some measurements and see what priceings will be.

I know this is a pretty dumb topic to post about, but I appriciate the help guys:Jon

no, i won't argue with you, stock wheels are great for strength, but if you're going widebody, stock wheels from YOUR car will look ridiculous. look into some R33 GTR (17x9) or R34 GTR (18x9). both of those will need spacers to fill in the gap from the widebody. Ideally though, you should have some big big wheels in the back if you have widefenders. think 18x11.

hahaha, Its cool, Yea those sizes whould be sweetI wasnt looking into any 18x11... I dunno if id want that wide (I say this now, but) I was lookin into a set from a skyline... but its hard to track down a set, I know a guy selling 3... but that doesnt do ne good, lol

In all honesty I really wasnt planning on flareing them that much, just a small lip to tuck the rear tire a smidge when its lowered, no kit or nethin... keepin it clean
