best / STRONGEST spacers

mikeith · 09-02-2011, 02:58 PM

so i have some 12 mm spacers that the hubcentric ring sheared/broke off on and since this technically is whats is supposed to be carrying the support of the cars weight on the wheel(not the bolts) i would like to get some stronger ones ASAP because for now i am putting around because all my cars weight is on my lug bolts and not the hub ring.

rayguy24 · 09-02-2011, 03:19 PM

From what i've read, Macht Shnell or RS Technik is the way to go. Personally I may try the RS techniks if I'n not satisfied with the rears once installed.

H&R spacers / rogue engineering

Elliott@DetailAddict · 09-02-2011, 05:15 PM

I've got H&R (12mm) in the front and EAS (20mm) in the back. Never an issue with multiple installs and removals and hard driving.

ZJP · 09-02-2011, 05:36 PM

I have ECS Tuning 17.5mm hubcentric spacers, no issues at all.

Sean@PYSpeed.com · 09-02-2011, 06:46 PM

Check out RS Technik Spacers. Those are strongest quality at the lightest weight! Love them!

Most will go with Macht Schnell. The construction and quality is second to none compared to anything on the market today.

+1 zero vibration with MS spacers and excellent build quality. Ive had 3 sets of these and all hold up very well if you follow the proper install procedure (prep surface, apply lubricant, anti seize..)

speedfan · 09-03-2011, 09:31 PM

my first time with the spacers, I've bought both the H&R Trak spacers & Macht Schnell spacers.

Holding them both H&R & MS in my hands, I decided to go with the MS & sold the H&R trak to my buddy.

I cant explain it, but they way they look, feel, & sound (when I use 1 & gently knocked on the other), I *felt* that the MS spacers have better quality.

Ever since, whenever I need the spacers MS is the way to go for me.

I've used 5mm, 12mm, & 15mm spacers all from MS. & love 'em.

IMO are none..its always better to use wheels with the offset you want to run..my 2 cents

Lol jk! I know though these reps weren't available in the "right" offset unfortunately but I plan on upgrading to forged wheels next summer and will get them size right from the get go!

tibra1 · 09-04-2011, 11:09 PM

..yeah it sucks when the wheels you want are not available in the correct offset

I wonder how the Burger Tuning spacera are? They look pretty nice on their site and I'll be in the market for some soon.

axztx · 09-06-2011, 10:13 AM

Anyone have experience with Turner Motorsports spacers?

iBoost · 09-06-2011, 10:46 AM

Ive always ran H&Rs with 0 problems...

Seen horror stories on these but who knows. H&R my vote.

axis · 09-07-2011, 12:27 PM

IllLojik · 09-11-2011, 05:29 AM

Because of thsi same reasons. I would never use spacers larger than 15mm. It's just too much load on the spacers as well as the hubs on the car. Get better fitting wheels instead.

mikeith · 09-11-2011, 11:58 AM

i plan on getting some advan TC-III's or ccw LM20's next summer either way....

i ordered some h&r's since they were the only ones that didn't come with new lug bolts since i already have extended ones. i wanted MS or RS's but they were both $40 more than the h&r's and didnt come w/ an option w/o bolts

dvpouldar26 · 09-11-2011, 11:03 PM

Cant get much lighter than these....
