Since I bought my wheels before buying my BBK I was bummed to find I needed a small spacer. I searched around but couldn't find anyone making a 1 or 2 mm spacer. The smallest I could find were 3mm from some eBay seller. I ran those cheap eBay 3 millimeter spacers for the last 3 years.

Then luckily a local shop told me about these spacers they were making in 1mm and 2.2mm. So I went down to their shop and tried the 1mm spacer but still had rubbing so I had to use the 2.2mm spacer. I've been running them for the last 3 months and am very content with them. I used to have wheel vibration around 60mph with the old spacers but not with these.

Here are the specs for them:

- 5×114.3 (5×4.5) / 5×112 bolt pattern
- Accepts 12mm studs for 5×114.3 and/or 1/2″ studs for 5×112
- 73mm inner hub diameter & 145mm outer diameter
- Available in 1mm, and 2.2 mm wide (prototypes)
- 6061-T6 Aircraft Aluminum
- Waterjet accuracy and precision

Here is a pic showing the two spacers. Ebay on the left Kyoei on the right.

I had a super hard time trying to show the gap between the caliper and the wheel spokes. This pic turned out the best out of like 20+ shots(click to supersize):

Don't mind my dirty wheels

I took the opportunity to also take some pics of the hooptie. Enjoy

nice car.

whats the size offset of those wheels. looks like you couldve done a 5mm spacer from a quality company like ichiba. their spacers are hub centric to avoid the vibration and come with extended studs

Yeah I have Ichiba 5mm spacers for when I run the stock wheels. The fronts are only 18x8 +45 but I am running a 245/35 on them so the higher offset I run the better.

Ride looks good Juic! The 2.2's worked out well and I really like your setup. Pics turned out great too. Thanks for sharing, props to ya:approve:

wow! I wish I knew about these before I went with the Ichiba V.1 5mm spacers. Like Baadhabit said, they're hubcentric so they'll fit well but I still didn't want to have to go a full 5mm for my Stoptech BBK to fit!

I think I've seen your car before, but never said how much I like it. Perfectly done.

What's the front bumper? Are the sides/rear Seibon TA?

OH... lol, the bumper looks 100 times better in GGP with the euro plate! Thanks badhabit.

 

[Juic]

Yeah it's the TTE front(hence the license plate) with RMM side skirts and TTE rear skirt on the Euro bumper. Also have the euro fenders and side mirrors.

 

[TobiasSing]

Thanks. More pics won't hurt, will it???

love your car man. Gonna check out those spacers in case I need some one day.

Is it possible that your old spacers caused your shaking because they weren't hub centric?

that would be a huge possibility!

The new ones aren't hub centric either. The old ones were just really badly made. I wish I would have taken more pictures before I got rid of them. But the new ones fit very snuggly. The holes for the bolts are just big enough for them to go through so they don't move around once you install them.

So you should better do a Euro-Trip soon!
