h&r spacers were on backorder a while back. does anyone know of any shops having them in stock on hand at this time? i am in need of them ASAP!

 

Last I heard was beginning of June. I have had some 5mm on backorder for a long time and haven't gotten them yet.

 

If you are looking for spacers and not adaptors (like 4 to 5 lug), then most rim shops should be able to help you out. Other people make spacers than H&R. The Firestone in my area keeps generic 5mm and 10mm spacers on hand.

 

i need some _____in ___ 15's or 20's. haven't decided yet due to not having wheels in my posession at this time (haven't found a sucker to jack yet ).

 

no such beast as a 4 lug to a 5 lug adapter - have called just about every known manufacturer and trolled about every webpage researching it. Pretty much unanimous. "NO". The pattern of a 4 jug would interfere (and prevent) the proper placement of 5 lugs.

If anyone knows to the contrary and can PROVE IT (web addy's, phone#'s, company names etc) - step up and do so. There will be a million geeky rice-boys running around on 4x100 wanting to tell you how cool you are "dogg"

Seriously... if you know a place, speak up.

 

I just called H&R and they told me these are still on back order, And said call back in a couple weeks...

The H&R spacers are Hub centric and come with longer studs. So you still have all your threads to grab hold of and they're Hub Centric as well, so no out of balance feeling and much much more safer than that crap they sell at the auto parts store. Those are not Hub centric, which in turn is very un safe. If you ever have to slam the brakes you wheels will just sheer your lugs right in half and then you get to watch your wheels roll right past you.......... (seen this happen in person) And the aluminum/magnesium alloy in which H&R uses is less likely to slip like that ____ you get at the local auto parts store. Your wheels tend to grip the aluminum/magnesium alloy better, witch in turn saves you ___ from the sheering problem. The crap from the local auto parts store are more like cigar cutters for you lugs under hard braking.......... If your getting wheel spacers, stick with H&R. Definitely worth the extra money.........

 

several companies make them, off the top of my head, i know gto and attain.

hey hey! look at that. MAGICMAN stepped up and hit a homer.

they look way off center - but most likely it's the angle of the photo.

just one thing - who in AMERICA has them - a website not written in Kanji would be great.

 

from the pic they look like they will use one of the existing stud placements, which leads me to believe that it will have a 5x 100 bolt pattern, which is fairly common, so enjoy

sorry, working on finding the sites. i'll keep you all updated.

here's a site in the us. dont know much about these, but they are available. my suggestion would be to not use wheel adapters. they are said to bend axels and just overall be unsafe. i want 5 lug but am trying to get 5 lug hubs off a vitz to see if they fit. i am not too optimistic about it though.

 

Contact Dave at Touge Factory.

He mainly works with mainly 240sx stuff, but should start catering to the xB crowd shortly. He deals with GTO as well and can special order JDM goods.

 

ahhhhh.... I like you MAGICMAN lol

I personally have no plans to "convert" to a 5 lug using an adapter especially. Not safe enough for my tastes. If one were to do the 4 to 5 swap - I also would look into getting parts from a Corolla S (??), Vitz or maybe an MR2 (?) If I remember right though, my 94 MR2t was a 5x114 though, not 100. If you're gonna do it, do it right.

There's such an enormous selection of wheels, the only reason to do the swap is for the "just because I could" factor.

 

about the spacers, what MM would be good to get. i dont want a a cooky lowrider look. but like a wider stance.

 

Ok,

So heres whay I get from all of this... Pep Boys Spacers are "Bad, Dangerous etc.."
And H&R spacers are "Grrrreat!"

What if I could tell you a place where I can get Volk 19's w/ tires for $150/set
IT DOSEN'T MATTER IF THEY CAN'T SUPPLY IT! (mods: I'm yelling...)

I can't believe that nobody else makes bolt on spacers.
H&R may be great, but there has to be an alternative.

 

Have you seen these on Bay?

Kyo-ei does. This place carries them, although not in our lug pattern: http://www.projectnissan.com.

Maybe you can contact them and see if they'll import some 4x100 spacers.

These guys have spacers, although I'm not sure they're H&Rs or not: http://www.tunershop.com/shop/shop.html.

You can also try www.vwvortex.com in their classifieds. Some VWs have 4x100, and they run very similar offsets to what we do.

Looks like the middle of August for the H&R spacers. Freakin unbelievable.
