Wheel Spacers?

I'm going to install my Tein SS coilovers on friday and I want to put some wheel spacers on. Who knows where I can get a good set of 15mm spacers?

I've never used spacers before so I dont if theres more to it than just getting spacers. Do I have to get new studs as well?

I ran them on my R before. H&R makes some quality ones. I picked mine up online. Its recommended to get extended studs if getting anything longer than 5mm. So I would advise it. Looking forward to seeing pics of your TL slammed

I too, had H&R spacers on my Prelude. I also got ARP extended lug bolts. In the end, I had nothing but bad luck with the spacers and they caused my wheels to be off balance after 100 miles everytime I re-tightened my lugnuts. Performance suffered, MPG's suffered, they weren't worth it in my opinion. Getting a wheel with the offset you want is the best option. P.S. I used wheel spacers to clear the rims I had from my Wilwood big brake kit.

I'm not planning on getting any wheels because I already have the HPT 19s powder coated gunmetal. I tried looking for the hubcentric spacers but I can't find any with the 64.1mm center bore that we need. I found 15mm 5x120 spacers but none of them are the right center bore size. I've looked everywhere.

Spacers are great for show, bad for go.

You could always just get them and have them re bored by a local machine shop...I personally would contact H&R though. They may be able to whip you up a set.... def go for hubcentric

I've seen this same comment on another tread, and I'm not going to look it up for a quote. However I would suggest that the precision required by wheels (or engine components) are not something you can trust with just any local machine shop. Choose your gear head carefully.

I found these ones that are hub and wheel centric.

go ichiba v2 spacers ... they are a little pricey, but they are quality spacers and you do not have to extend your existing studs

Did you ever do the spacers ? I have a 2012 SH-AWD tech and like the wheels but wish they had more offset. I was also thinking 15mm hub centric
