Best spacers?

I am looking for a good set of spacers that are known to not give vibration issues. I just got P45Rs and have a 8mm non hubcentric spacer.

At highway speeds the steering wheel has noticeable vibration. I believe it is the spacers.

I am looking for a good set of spacer that would clear this issue.

Anyone know of any good sets that are known to have no vibration issues?

Thanks guys!

Any hubcentric ones are going to be better for getting the wheel centered, and getting rid of the vibration. I have kics and can't complain. h&r are also a reputiable company... not sure if they have 8mm though

^^^ +1. What he said above.

Wheeladaptor seems to make good hub adapters which are hub-centric as well as wheel centric. Foe example - You need to tell him the bore on your wheel as well, so he can put a lip on the spacer to keep things kosher.

I just got off the phone with the guy a sec ago.

Also, depending on spacer size, you will need extended lug studs. I suggest ARP (part # ARP 100-7717) from summit racing.

Good luck!

Looks he cant make the spacers wheel centric for P45Rs because the bore is the same as the hub bore and im going to need +5mm. He did however say he would make them hub-centric. I will be getting them on Tuesday... We'll see how it goes.

There's also a seller on ebay who has the full ARP set (20pcs) for $129 shipped. Typically they are $40+ per wheel (5pcs).

^^ nice advice.

I'm hoping I only need them for my fronts!


I just sent an email (thanks to the OP) to wheeladapter.com myself for 25mm spacers.

Search button FTW!
