i wanted to know what brand of wheel spacers i can purchase while maintaing the wheel being hubcentric. by that i mean, i don't want the lugs to be the only things holding the wheel. which wheel spacer is the "volks" of the industry? and where can i find them? thanks guys.

 

http://www.ichibausa.com/ thats all you need to know.

 

What wheels are you using them on and are you looking for spacers that replace the studs or bolt over the top of them?

 

^i have no idea, and i have iforged 20 inch wheels....which method would be safer? replacing or bolt over?

 

thanks a lot for the site, that really does explain everything

 

I'm using the H&R spacers for over a year now with no problems. either on the street or at the track its great and its hubcentric.

 

i reccomend Kics Project Wheel Adapters, evasive motorsports sells them and makes them hubcentric for you too, very high quality

 

+1 on the kics project i had h & r hubcentric spacers 20mm all around on my Z no probs but the install was $$$$$$$$

 

Am I right to think that longer studs are stronger and less weighting solution?

But how do you install longer studs?

 

h&r and ichiba are basically the same thing right? I mean...they have the same 'how to measure' graph on their sites.....I was thinking about goin with ichiba which is y i'm askin....

 

I'm using H&R Trak spacers, 20mm in front & 25mm in rear. I've driven on HPDE & auto-x events with no problems. I still have '06 stock tires & rims and they're flushed with the spacers. Here are pics of my Z from a recent auto-x event (I have ~1" drop):

 

What model of H&R spasers do you use? DRS?

How difficult is to install new studs?

Thanks

 

+1

DRS Series - (14-30mm Track Widening) - This spacer is fitted between the wheel and hub, exchanging the existing wheel studs for longer ones (Included). The wheels are fitted with the existing wheel nuts. (5 Bolt Only)

DRM Series (14-130mm Track Widening) - This spacer is fitted to the hub with special nuts and it carries new wheel studs for the existing wheel nuts. DRM Series spacers with track widening greater than 64mm apply to 911 only. (5 Bolt Only)

 

and also its wierd, i think my wheel indents into my fender MORE in the front than in the rear......is that common? i'll measure for sure in the morning but it looks like i am correct.....

 

you can get Kics spacer with hub centric ring

 

yea, but why get those when spacers like ichiba and h&r already come hubcentric? i want to eliminate the extra peices that i'm assuming the kics come with...also have you ever seen a case in which the front wheels are further under the fender as opposed to the rear wheels?

 

So can you guys confirm that I DON'T NEED hub rings when using ichiba spasers?

 

^affirmative
