Default Max Wheel Spacer?

Anybody ever use max wheel spacers? I saw one or two threads pertaining to these spacers, and one member who was selling them before, but I can't find anything on them in this forum. Please let me know if you have any experience with them/selling them, thanks.

When it comes to your safety why dont you just stick to trusted brands especially since spacers are relatively inexpensive.

Do you mean "Powered By Max" spacers? If so, I've used several of their spacers and I'm currently using a pair... IMHO, they are by far the best and most comfortable spacers I ever used! (I've used Project Kics, Ichiba, ConceptZ)... They are hubcentric and stay on the hub nice and tight!... They're not as expensive as other spacers too!... I highly reccomend them!

ive had every brand of spacers from ebay,eibach,ichiba,Kics and powered by Max. I had bad experience with Max spacers (30mm). Ive installed many spacers before but this one made a lot of noise. Sounded like there was some play. Good thing they have good customer service and gave me a full refund.

Ichiba is my favoirte spacer brand

Hmm, still can't decide whether to get some max spacers or not. SD said they were the best out of all the quality brands, and JP is saying they are crap out of all the other quality brands mentioned. I read a thread on here one time where a member said the spacers were as good as ichiba and eibach, without the high cost. Should I just get used ichiba's?

^ He's not asking what the biggest size is, he's asking about a brand.

I meant comfortable as far as vibrations and noise go... And no, all the Max spacers I've used did not vibrate and make noise at all... I'm even running a set in the rear right now, and there is absolutly no play... They fit nice and snug around our hubs even without the included rings... All the project kics and Ichiba spacers I've used vibrated... I honestly think your over paying for the name brand...

^^^Yea I know. If the quality is good, and it doesnt crack im fine using spacers that aren't brand name. Ill give it a try then. Btw, did you leave our the included rings? Or are you just saying they are snug even without them, but still installed them?

oh I see, Max is the brand...never heard of them. Iv been using ichiba for the past 2 years, no problems yet.

why the hell would a spacer crack...your car is f*cked if your driving over sh*t rough enough to crack a spacer. You would have to be doing a drifting competition or tracking your car to even have to consider worrying about them. As for vibration, the only thing that would cause it is if your not using hubcentric rings. Once again you would have to be driving the car well over 100mph for vibration to POSSIBLY happen. Iv driven with a set of spacers for a couple months with no hubcentric rings and my car drove just fine.

Just save up and spend $140 for a reputable/ well known brand of spacers.

I never used the the rings they come with on any of the MAX spacers I've owned... Trust me these are hubcentric without the rings... Like I said, I'm just speaking from my experience with this brand...

Jut look them up here...
