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.
