how wide do they make bolt on spacers? on h&r's page it says they only make 25mm which is totally weak.

25mm is nearly one inch. That is a big spacer. You would have to buy new longer studs of a much higher quality to not shear them.

You can have a spacer made of any thickness. Once you go past about 3/4 of an inch, you should go with a spacer that bolts to the hub and has its own studs for the wheel.Talk to these guys...http://www.mazzeoscustomwheelcenter.com/index.html

You building a low rider? ... You don't need 25mm spacers.

LOL im just checking somthing, im not gonna roll mexi style i promise, i dont need spacers with the offset i got

edit - checking somthing for a friend, ubernoober i would never tell anyone that running a 1 inch thick sandwitch spacer was a good idea, i dont even think somone would make that for you since its so dangerous. obviously i am talking about the bolt on variant, as i said in my first post.
