wheel spacers i was wondering if anyone here has used this type of spacer
http://www.skulte.com/adapters.html
if so, how do you like them?
do they hold up to repeated abuse?
Also, where can i buy normal wheel spacers, like, 3/16 and 1/4 inch?
thanks

Re: wheel spacers Most Auto Parts stroes sell the 1/4" universal spacers. I have found 5/16". Once you exceed 1/4" by much you'll have to get new lug studs.
The best kind to find are the "Hub Centric" spacers. Usually have to custom order them though.
I have never dealt with the big adapters.

Re: wheel spacers Don't buy adapters. Lots of damage can happen like wear out hub, braking wheels and lugs, lots of my friends used then all had problems. Costing big money like wheel ripped of and big time body damage!
Re: wheel spacers A hub centric spacer is built specifically for the car, and it fits tight to the "hub" of the axle, basically that "button" that sticks out in the center. There are also "hub & wheel centric" spacer, which are even better, since the wheel is centered on the hub again.

H&R is about the only one I know that makes them.
