spacers?

[thepitt]

i have a questions about which spacers are better. Are the H&R wheel spacers better than the Kics Project wheel spacers? As in quality and effectivness. These will be 20mm no matter what.also will I have to roll the fenders to make these work with a 7" wide rim with a 40mm offset? Also has anyone ever used any of these product? How hard would it to be to install them? The H&R said that the new studs need to be pressed in the hubs (how hard would that be or get a pro to do it?). Thanks in advance for all your help!

lol no you will not have to roll the fenders to fit thoes battleship pizza cutters. effectivness? all any spacer will do is push your wheel out. does not differ between brands. if you have to ask how hard it would be to install a spacer you probably shouldnt buy them. i cant think of any car part that is easier to install than a wheel spacer. maybe a sticker?

well, if you get any bigger than 7mm... you need to get longer wheel studs.

if you are going with 20mm or more than you will need bolt on spacers...

I would recomend H&R... I don't know much about the other company so I can't compare...

OH and get the hub-centric spacers.. will make things easier for you...

do i really have to get something this big (20mm). I have 17"X7" with a 40mm offset. i was planning on getting spacers for my suspension im planning on buying (Tein HEs). Do you think i could just use a 10 or a 15mm spacer. Also how hard would i be to press new studs into the hub? thanx again

aslo with these spacers how flush would my rims look with them on and a coilover setup on it look?

actually most spacers come with studs in them. so you bolt on the spacers and then put the rim onto the spacer.

i gotta pick up some spacers. some 30mm's :P
