Default wheel spacers question

I'm preparing to lower my MY04. None of these items are installed yet, but so far, i have in front of me are Espelir springs on stock shocks (for now), t1r drive shaft spacers, and currently debating on H&R wheel spacers.

Here's a link to the website of which I'm viewing...

http://hrsprings.com/scripts/appguide.php?...nda%20|%20S2000

i don't know if the website offers free shipping, but the same company, H&R's, are selling these on ebay for 119.95 for the front pair and the same cost for the rears with free shipping.

Question is, is anyone out there running on these and which mm size you guys are on? i'm leaning towards the 15mm, for the front and rear. i've seen wheels spacers on a friends car sitting on AP2 v1 wheels and it's HELLA FLUSHED. never really thought of it or had any idea of how it worked out back then so i didn't bother asking what size he was using. Anyone on something similar?

pictures with mm sizing would help plenty. thank you.

You really wan't to avoid running spacers if theirs no need to. The only reason you should be running spacers is because you need to clear a BBK. If your going to do it though, make sure you look into extended studs also since their will be extra stress on the OEM wheel studs with spacers.

Not my S but here is a pic with 25 mil. spacers front and back. I am lowering my S next month and will be going with 15 or 20 mil. spacers up front and 20 mil out back.

that picture you just posted looks about the same as this one, but as i look closer, this one here seems to be running 20mm... since the 25mm seems a bit too out.





thanks though! that gives me a much better idea.

i just tried to put on 25mm on my car and they would have rubbed significantly - in the front and rear.


i am lowered probably 1.5 in to 2 in. ( all the way on pss9's)

so i took them off before driving anywhere and screwing things up and bought a fender roller, but i havent had a chance to use it yet.

the lower you go the more the wheel will sink into the body... so the lower you are the bigger the spacer you can fit... also camber comes into play... and tire size... and brand... lol you get the picture.

Anyhow i have a set of project kicks spacer I'm not using... if anyones interested pm me
