Are spacers safe???

[MR H]

Hi all

I am thinking to buy 15mm or 20mm spacers to make wheels sit flush. But I heard they are not quite safe, is that ture? if yeah, any good brand recommend? anyone have any ideas? many thanks

Invest in some wheels that have offset already. If not bolt ons.

Only use bolt ons, especially in that size.

Porsche have been using bolt on spacers for years, and never had a problem.

i've used bolt ons and also the DRS style of smaller spacers made from H&R.

u press in extendedd studs and apply the floating spacer on top. the flaoting spacer has a built in center bore correct for your car..

u wanna get 10mm or 15mm spacer. look at H&R DRS ones... get the 64.1mm center bore for your honda!

i been using that and no dramas at all. i only use H&R.

Thanks for your offer, but my car is 5 stud.

apparently you only need 6 threads on your studs.

6x1.5mm = 9mm.
need at least 9mm of stud length when using spacers.

whats the total thread length on oem studs, measuring from base of hub?

No, you need at least 8 threads as the outer threads might not be perfectly machined. Hence even that sure says to have 2 extra threads in addition to the 6 that take the load.
