Did buy some extended wheels studs too?

i got the ones that have the extended studs already on them so i dont have to remove the stock studs. they were more expensive but easier to do and since im working full time + now i dont really have the time to play around with my car as much as i used too.

At least you did spacers the right way

How much were they?

[agol]

alright well heres what the guy told me. i basically had three options. keep in mind this is my shop where i take my car to get worked on for stuff that i cant really do myself nor have the time too. i like them a lot and they have been in honda tuning magazine a couple times. he said i can do h and r which would give me a couple different sizes but for all of them id need to buy the studs separate and remove a bunch of stuff to take the old ones out. i don't know much about our braking and suspension so i didn't bother. then he said that eibach made easy bolt up ones for our pattern in 5mm and 15mm. then there are of course the cheap ebay china brands which were probably crap... if you check ebay for our bolt pattern they are around 80 bucks for a set of 2 and there the kind that you have to remove the studs on. the eibach ones were 150 for a set but since ive done business there before he gave me 30 dollars off so i paid 270 for all four. i decided to go with 15mm all around. 15mm should make it flush maybe a lil poking out but 5mm do nothing really. so i went with the 2 sets of 15's for the eibachs. the h and r's were cheaper but like i said i didn't wanna mess around with taking out the studs. it might be easy it might not be but from what i read on some other forums the fronts can be challenging. so yeah around 270 all and al and ill defiantly be sitting more flush and fill up more of the wheel well.

honestly though this is an experiment. kinda an expensive one for me but my 2 friends both have gti's. they both have coilovers and the one has spacers. makes so much of a difference. so i figured id try them out on a cb to see if it looks the same. i must add that i love the look of slammed spaced out gti's, well see how the cb takes to it.

25mm bolt ons...

25mm bolt ons...

Those suck.

Get wheel adapters that are hubcentric. I got a full set for my z over a year ago. They are made by ichiba, expensive but they are hubcentric and good quality

[agol]

do you guys have any pics of your cars? id like to see the 25mm's on a cb

[accordztech]

sorry I ride with it on my 300zx. Took many twisties and corners and they havent fallen off =).

i just want it to poke out a lil and be flush... you think i can accomplish that with 15mm?

[accordztech]

go get some washers and measure 15mm, possibly washers that are 5mm in thickness or something. Put them on the lugs, and then scoot your tire on, it probably wont hold, but if you lower your car so that it matches the tire, you can observe how close or how far that you would want it.

Then to determine how much of a spacer you want, just calculate how much spacers you used.

hahaha well i already ordered the 15's just cause i think 25 maybe too much. my friend has 20's on his gti and it sits like perfect and 10's on his front and it still looks good so i think 15's should be good. accords for the most part have the same side fenders. for gti's the fender is more poked out in the rear so i think thats why he went bigger.

[accordztech]

there is a lot to consider when thinking of spacers.

OEM fitment
Fender relationship to wheel hub
Tire sizes (especially width)
how low the car is.
Camber (if you decide to go flush)
Susupension design (if you decide to go flush)

Its hard to guess, its best to get down and do some measurments yourself.

2 people with 2 differnt cars, in your case vw and a honda, can have 2 differnt sized tires and wont fit correctly with your spacer size.

any pics of these installed yet im curious to see how reliable these are
