Looking to buy some wheel spacers I want to go with 15mm all the way around and need some help from my friends here. Right now im running stock wheels and will be getting my coilovers put it on Mon. I will run stock for a lil while but then my plan is to get some Vossens on and I was wondering do I get the spacers with the nuts on them or jus the flat ones? Please help.
And what are some good brands....ive heard akata is a preerty good brand and good price

I'm planning on getting spacers soon too. From what I read, a lot of people recommend the spacers that do NOT have studs on them already. The studs can be a potential breaking part so I would get the flat ones and change out your stock studs for longer ones since you want to go 15mm. I've heard H&R and Ichibas are a popular brand with IS owners

 

Thanks for the info where can I buy longer stock studs? OR does it come with the spacer kit?

 

I believe you buy extended studs from companies just like other parts. Not sure what brand though. I'm sure the more knowledgeable guys will be able to provide some better info.

 

Ok thanks if there is anymore input it is welcome

 

same question now...

it looks like i need 15mm spacers now in the front and wondering what people recommend for 15mm spacers so that my wheels will clear the front calipers. thanks anyone who can offer assistance.

 

I beg to differ on this. If your only doing a temp thing with stock wheels then I would get the spacers with built in studs, then you don't have to deal with the hassle of removing your stock studs in place of the extended ones. Theres plenty good brands quality spacers out there with built in studs that you can trust, like FIC, Kics, etc. The key is installing it right to make sure you don't F up your car and have the studs break on you. And for the next set of rims when you do get it, just make sure to get the right offsets. Then you don't have to worry about using spacers anymore.

 

Project kics spacers are quality. U dont have to buy extended studs if u get a quality spacer with built in studs. Ive read a few horror stories about ichiba but nothing about project kics. I did research across multiple boards and everyone vouched for project kics spacers. Plus they are hubcentric. I have the 10mm in classified if u wanna see what they look like.
