I bought a set of Hacing Hart 18" Evo C2 3 piece wheels for my SC400 and for some reason its unable to clear the front calipers. The rears fit fine but the front needs another 2-3mm of clearance to clear the caliper.

where can I buy some wheel spacers?
who makes the best ones?
how much should I expect to pay?
Should I buy the 5mm or the 15mm?

thanks

 

That sux

How much space is needed????

I have a set from a while back. I remember seeing one in the garage not too long ago.........

I'll look around later today for the other one and hook yoo up if I find it

 

Hook me up!
if I have 5mm clearance it would be more than enough.
Right now it seems like it needs 2mm-3mm.
I would really like 5mm or 8mm
If anything I can shave that little tiny bit off the caliper but rather not.
Anything that will give clearance will do.
Thank you for looking that up for me.

Does anyone know what center bore (Inside diameter) and the Outside diameter of the spacer should be?

Thanks

 

go to a wheel shop

around here i would say America's Tire.......but i dont know what you have out there

my friend got some when he put 300zx TT front brakes on his Infiniti G20.......

 

Summit Racing also has wheel spacers (Cheap!)

 

You "can" go with the cheap spacers, but here's the thing. You may need longer wheel studs depending on how big you go (not with 5mm tho). If you buy the el-cheapo's from Pep Boys, they're generic. And the problem with those is they will not sit exactly flush, so when you tighten the wheel down you'll have ot make sure they're straight. Of course, they are only $5 a piece.

Or...you could go the "good" way and get something like H&R. They come with the correct center hub size, so it's a perfect fit. No wobble. They are balanced, much stronger, and they come with the wheel studs. The bad thing is...they're $50 - $75 each.

I have cheaped out on some things on my car, but the way I look at that...you cheap out on those, and your wheels might fly off. That's not a good prospect.

I'm running 10mm on the back with new wheel studs, and 5mm on the front with the factory wheel studs.

Please excuse the rust and crappy look of the pic...the car hasn't been run in a while now.

Jeez, long time no see. What you been up to Wiz?

 

just one so far

They're billet units (from another car) so I'll be sure to ask when someone else gets here.

Just pay for shipping

 

Heyyy, did you ditch the Mille's and pick up some Volk AV3's Steven?

look like Monsoons to me... AV3=curved lip, Monsoon=angled lip.

Wiz, you're not putting spacers on a 40mm offset wheel are you? Please tell me that they're 17x9.5...

 

Hey, I think you might have got me on that one, is that why the center caps are off SR? A 5mm spacer on a +40 wheel would end up being 35mm, yow, I already think a +38 on these cars is untolerable, let alone another 3mm of track width, what's the setup Steven? Let's get some project updates.....

VSsc400,

Are your rims the right offset etc? If they are they should fit onto the factory hub sweet?

Just like to mention that I've fitted my Enkei G-Zero's today, and I'm a very happy man!! The car still rides smooth (I'm running 235/40 and 245/45 rubber with 18" rims), although I'll need new tyres (I bought the rims secondhand) as the back tyres are gone, but they fit perfectly... correct offset and everything!

 

I think its the wrong offset. it does fit into the hub but doesn't clear the caliper. I ordered 5mm wheel spacer so I should be able to put the wheel on next week.

 

do the SC3's have the same bolt pattern as the IS300?

sorry, a little off topic

 

Yes, 5x114.3
