Hi guys I need some wheel spacers, its a 92' 240sx 4 lug I need something along the lines of a 20 - 25 mm spacer. I dont want the H&R ones because I have 60mm nismo studs. I was wondering if anyone knew of a place that sold a spacer that thick? :help

Chances are it would have to be custom made. I haven't seen any spacers in that kind of thickness that weren't made to bolt to the hub directly.

You dont want spacers that big , its dangerous. Think about more of 5-10 mm spacers.

I ran 55mm spacers on my Turbo Buick. I had no problems even at 120mph+, and that car made a hell of a lot of power. I got mine through the Tire Rack. This is my actual car: http://www.tirerack.com/upgrad...=1987

Contact them and I'm sure they can hook you up.

I honestly hope your kidding repo, that large of a spacer puts the centerline of the wheel ballance WAY outside of the front strut to controll arm angle line, making suspension problems common and a pain in the ***, not to mention putting more strain on any components.-chet

Depends on the wheel offset. A Spacer really only changes the offset of the wheel. If the wheel ohas an offset that would put the centerline of the wheel too far inside of the Dave Point(As Dave Coleman puts it) then a spacer can actually put it closer to the Dave Point.

In choosing a spacer, I'd be more concerned with strength. I would hope most of us would try to keep the tires somewhat within the wheelwells...:)
