Spacer with lug extender?
Hey,
Is there any company that makes spacers with lug extenders for my 98 gs400?
If so, how do i figure out how much space i need to get my rear tires flush with the body?
Where can I buy them?
Also, is there any downside to using spacers?
Thanks!

What does that mean to put more load on the bearings? Does that mean that Ill have to change the bearings more often?

We have them in any length you need, let me know, email or PM

Shouldn't have any problems as you aren't putting the wheel in an extreme position relative to stock.

if u get the H&R wheels spacer in 25mm.. the studs r built in to it... if u get 20mm or less then u'll have to pull out ur old studs and replace it with neweer longer ones.. thats wut i did up front and in the rear .

i dont have any pics b4 or after but when my sis gets back from the beach onwednesday i'll take some pics.. i'd recommend you get the 25mm.. its easier for the install since u dont have to screw around with ur original studs.. and it fits more flush from wut i've heard.. but hey if anyone is willing to buy my 20mm i'm gonna get the 25mm

Adam,
Did you only put spacers in the rear or did you do the fronts also?
I think Im pretty content with the fronts... I jsut want my rears to come alot closer to being flush with the body... so it looks kinda staggered.
Thanks bro!

Lemme get this straight: I can get 25mm spacers that will make my rear wheels flush that are bolt-ons so I don't even need to mess with the existing studs??
OMG I want to do this... I can't really afford new wheels right now, but I still want that flush look in the back...

maybe someone should get a group buy goin. I think theres alot of interest for somehtin like you mentioned... somethin easy to install but still gets the wheels out a bit.
