Wheel Spacers....what To Use?

[nsta]

Hey guys, im going to buy some 5mm wheel spacers for my fronts, as the offset on my r33 means that the tyres are very close to the brakes, extremely close....question is, does any old spacer work, should i be looking for the cheapest one???

something like this do the job?

Dont know if it really matters but I thought all wheel spacers were illegal on street cars.

not really able to offer more than that but would probly go quality rather than price on such an item, wouldnt want the wheels to fall off.

I'd go the 5mm slip on's from just jap as they have correctly spaced holes rather than slots so won't slip off center and cause balance issues like some of the dodgier ones around.

I need these too for the fronts. Are they illeage on street cars?

any one know?

Whats the need for a spacer if your only going for around 5mm?

All spacers are illegal.... Just don't do stupid stuff to get yourself pulled over like MRGTiR/S15. Sorry, this guy is going down in flames

You want ones that are a tight fit, and are hub centrifical (sp?). So the idea is to get them made up to suit your hubs and your wheels, and stud pattern. Also get longer studs to suit.

I used to have some dodgy old rusted ones, then I got these other ones made up specifically for my car.

That said, if your wheels clear the brakes, just leave it be, there is no reason for spacers.
