Anyone have any suggestions? I need about 1 mm to clear the stoptech brakes I am planning on getting, and figure the extra 2mm will be for insurance.

This is for my G, not a Z, but they have the same 5 lug pattern.

There is no such thing...

Best to get a 5mm H&R or Eibach spacer set... They include new hub bolts...

But best thing to do is get a HubCentric spacer... The smallest is 10mm tha tEibach makes... next is 15mm that both H&R and Eibach make...

 

is HubCentric the brand?

 

No such thing as a good 3mm spacer, or no such thing as any 3mm spacer? Because I can go on eBay and find plenty of 3mm spacers, for example, this one but I wouldn't really trust all that much on eBay as being good. I was wondering if there was an equivalent that was of good quality.

Those are not hubcentric... You should at least use longer wheel studs with them if you are going to use them...

Those are better then the old cast ones that used to be floating around...

Find some hubrings to use as well...

 

Define hubcentric, and also, many people have said that with 5mm spacers, you still have plenty of room on the lug bolts, so 3mm should be even more room...

 

These are the 3, 5, 8 mm spacers that used to be floating around... havent seen them that much lately... but the material can compress and lead to problems like hub bolts snapping and wheels flying off...



This (below) is a Hubcentric spacer, which center bore of the spacer matches the bore of the wheel hub on the car, then the part sticking out matches the center bore of the wheel (factory wheels are hubcentric to the factory wheel hubs)...



when putting on smaller spacers that do not have the hubcentric part on it the wheel looses the hubcentric support and the hub bolts can be shiered off and your wheel will go flying off...

 

Ah, ok, that makes sense, now. Obviously, it's the much better solution.

Thanks

safer...

 

The H&R 5mm spacer is hubcentric!

I just ordered it. Now I'm trying to convince myself that I can put a $4500 dent in my CC for a Stoptech BBK as a Christmas present to myself...

 

Both H&R & Eibach 5mm spacers are "Hubcentric" to the hub on the car, but not to the wheel... They do not have the extra hubcentric part sticking out...
