Default spacers anyone?

hey guys! I was wondering what is a good quality set of spacers... i recently lowered my car and have 16x7 rims on there right now and i'm going to need spacers quick. the only brand that I've been hearing about is H&R's. also, what kind of spacers should i invest in.. I was thinking 15 - 20 mm range

any help would be appreciated, thanks!

We have many sizes available, let me know exactly what size you need, pm or email todd@tmengineering.net

Anything more than 5mm would need extended studs, anything over 20 should use a bolt on spacer.

There's actually almost no such thing as 10mm, as it won't be able to index on the hub correctly, which is around 8mm.

You can stack two 5mm ones, but you'd need longer studs though. We have em if you need!

Im guessing from your website you're selling H&R spacers? One model # says it includes longer studs. Do you have anything around 15mm.

do you think it's really worth getting spacers on stock wheels? the reason why is because i'm running 16x7 wheels and would want it to be a little more flush.. does 5mm actually make a difference? or should i just wait until i get aftermarket wheels and get spacers? i'll try to post pictures soon so ya'll will know exactly what i'm talking about

if you need spacers, order ones that are HUB-CENTRIC. Todd over at Tmengineering.net should have these.

Its not an SC and he doesn't even say how big the spacers are. Its kind of a pointless post.

No it's not. It had more relevence than your post.

I immediately noticed that the LS' wheels were more flush than stock. It's an example.

I think your post/question is more pointless

I think these pictures are very helpful, it's not like these are pictures of a Civic with wheel spacers

Spacer size is confidential anyways

I've never understood this Why are guys so secretive about their spacers and offsets. Is there a problem with helping other people with their cars??
