Are all the spacers that the vnedors sell here all pretty much the same? I see prices ranging from $88 to $147

The stance is so much more aggressive now and i think it looks great IMHO. The pictures do not do it justice, you have to see it in person for the full affect.

Looks great bro, an I know exactly what you mean with the stance. I have no idea why it's not like that stock.

Now if you lower it, let us know if you get any rubbing.

Thanks man! Yeah, once it was all finished I was thinking the same thing that stock should be exactly like that. It just transformed the car.

That is definitely in the future and I will post up with any rubbing issues. I will probably go with a smaller drop like tein just to stay on the safe side.

Those do not have the rings installed.

The reason to run them is explained on the first couple posts of the thread:

Looks good. Did you need a camber kit?

No aftermarket camber kits. My rears are within spec. Front's are @ -1.6 and -1.8 deg camber. I should prolly get A arms... but meh.

Thinking about running 15mm spacers w/ built-in studs. My concern is torque on the spacer lugs. Seems to me that the proper procedure start-to-finish is as follows. Please correct me if I am wrong:

1) Remove wheels
2) Install spacers and torque spacer lugs to spec
3) Install wheels and torque wheel lugs to spec
4) After a test drive, check / re-torque wheel lugs to spec.
5) After 30-50 miles of driving, remove wheels and check / re-torque spacer lugs
6) Reinstall wheels and torque wheel lugs to spec
7) After a test drive, check / re-torque wheel lugs to spec
8) After 30-50 miles of driving, check / re-torque wheel lugs to spec.


It seems overkill, but based on thermal cycling of the wheel / hub / studs etc. and the possibility of the thread stress relieving, it seems like the safe way to go.

Default Need help from Wheel/Tire/Offset Gurus out there!

Hey guys, i just put on my Forgestar F14(waited for over 3 months) on my car, the wheel specs are 19x10 +20 front 19x11 +23 rear wrapped with Hankook V12 255/35/19 front, 285/35/19 rear. So far, i really love the look of it. It looks awesome on a black car with some concave looks for both front and rear. Although i like the way it looks right now, but i am thinking to poke them outwards a little bit to achieve more of a flush look, just a little bit maybe 10mm front and back since the wheels themselves are pretty wide and aggressive. By the way, my car is lowered on gf210s and rear fenders are rolled. I am thinking to purchase the H&R spacers http://www.mynismo.com/products/?id=4182 which is 10mm both front and rear. My question is, is this something that doable? and would it cause me problems?(rub, damage wheels/car). Sorry that i typed too much, just want to give out more info to get accurate insight on this matter. Thanks for reading!=]

Sounds about right. When I had my spacers, I skipped step 4 and stopped at step 5.

Just got word from the shop that my 07 with stock wheels/tires and 25mm spacers front and back DOES NOT rub at all after being lowered on Eibach Pro Kit springs (1", 1").

He also mentioned that it looks like no camber kit will be required.

*fist pump*

Will post a pic after I pick the car up tomorrow.
