Motorsport Technology wheel spacers
 
Just got these installed. Very high quality craftsmanship, fully hubcentric, everything went on better than factory. 25mm, got them from motorsport-tech.com in San Bernardino, CA. Great communication and fast delivery.
Before:


The spacers (with hubcentric rings)


After


From behind


Highly recommend this to push the rear wheels out far enough to match the front. Technically 20mm would be perfect, but I wanted them out a little more.

if you use those... and have alot of people in the back i notice my back wheels start tucking in... would that cause rubbing problems with anything>

That looks good man but remember that wheel spacers add stress to the studs and will wear them out.

GAH! the hub bears the weight of the car, not the studs.

Looks nice. I like that style of wheel. I just have a question though:

If the tire is sticking out a little more, do rocks or pebbles fly off the tire and run a higher risk of hitting the sides of your car, thus scratching the paint? I have seen that the Nissan 350Z has kind of like little mudflaps. I think Kwhauck also has some in his car. I am guessing this is to prevent that issue?

how much of a difference does the wheel centric make for the ride? I am interested in getting the spacers but I plan on getting rims eventually.

Thanks for all the comments! As for the rubbing/ stone flinging questions, it does rub when I hit a large bump or turn on a bumpy corner. I think this has more to do with my worn out suspension because it only rubs on the driver side. Haven't loaded it up with fatties just yet, but I think it would rub. It does have the possibility of catching stones because they do stick outside the wheelwell, but the problem is bugs on the highway catching the lip and being spun into gooey strings. You can get stock mudflaps for aleros, so that would probably be a solution. Not my style though, I never drive on gravel or loose stone roads.

i've got the same thing from http://www.skulte.com/ but the place you got them is less expensive.

looks like skulte is not doing custom spacers anymore.

When you add spacers, you are moving the wheel out further onto the stud therefore adding stress to them. You're not bolting wheels onto the hub, you're bolting them onto the studs, which in turn are held by the hub, not the other way around.

Edit, you're not riding on the hub, you're riding on the tires. What do you really think is bearing the weight of the car?

jabartram 06-09-2009 01:24 AM

off topic question, but what are the pieces attached below the front of your car?

sh8dybizness 06-09-2009 01:49 AM

If your talking about the plastic piece attached to the bumper I think it's called an air dam.
