Keep the list growing...I would need at least 20 guaranteed buyers to get you good prices...and depending on how many is on the list I may even be able to throw in a discount on top of the future set price of these..kinda an introductory price... As far as what the price will be...I will just have to wait and see how many jump in on this...I do have some prices that I want to obtain, but this is dependent on how many takes there are...so the more of you the better the price...

Also since I provide these with RAD bolts...I'm curious to what most of you guys want with respect to bolt finish...do you want Silver or Black???

Hey guys....here are some pics of our spacers installed on my car...

You will definitely like our exclusive never before seen "Spacer Lock Down" Feature. They hold the spacer, 10mm and up, onto the hub without it falling off, nor rotating around when you mount your tire...so lining up bolts holes is a snap..also you don't have to worry about it popping off when you take the wheels off...again securely mounted....

It a simple but very effective feature that only we have provided....

They fit like a glove and work like a champ...

I'm still on for 8mm to use with the 18x8.5 Breyton GTS-R rears on the front.

Mike, Thanks for the tip:thumbup:...I've been looking for some solid info on putting a set of rears up front. With stock ride height and no other mods, will there be any rubbing with this setup? I won't need to roll the lip, right? Just have to make sure before I do this:biggrin:.

Thanks!

[mikeo]

Having not done this I can't categorically state that there will be no rubbing for your proposed setup. But Fred Su has stated that 18x8.5 et40 with 245s is about max and everything I've read agrees with that. I think we are going to see people going with this front setup pretty soon and we will know for sure then.

Orders...have been shipped...

There have been quite a few guys that have bought the 12mm from us that came from this site...so hopefully they can shed some insight to the rubbing issue...

Only two people interested in the 8mm???

Do they need to be anodized? Does it make them stronger?
8.5 inch 264's might look better on the front with silver 12mm spacers. Will the anodized spacers be noticable? Can you see them? I ask because the front hubs are more rounded off then the back ones are.

They do if you want the best... Anodizing them prevents the aluminum from corrosion... Anodizing does not in any way improve the material properties of aluminum, it does however improve abrasion resistance because the anodizing itself is harder...

No you will not be able to see the spacers...the black anodizing masks the spacer behind the wheel...whereas non-anodized would stand-out especially with open faced rims.

Orders...are out....thanks...

TC Kline uses a 5mm spacer on the front for the Breyton GTS-R 18x8.5 fitment with no reported issues, so I'm putting my 5mm order in instead of waiting for an 8mm.

[vmcllc]

Okay guys....We've been without power nor internet for the past 2 weeks almost as the hurricane shut us down for awhile and we are remotely located till we get power and internet up....so we will be getting orders out soon...we are running a day behind on getting orders out as we can't get our orders till the next day...

Mike...how did the 5's work for your car??

They work fine giving just enough front strut clearance for the Breyton GTS-R 18x8.5 et48 wheel and for tires up to 245x35, but nothing wider or taller. I'm now running 225x40-18 front Dunlop Z1s on the 8.5" wide Breytons with absolutely no issues.

Glad to hear that...
