Quality Hubcentric Spacer Brands? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Howdy All,

Besides H&R Trak+, are there any quality hubcentric spacer brands? I need 5mm, 10mm, and 15mm spacers that are hubcentric slip-ons. I'm looking around and I find a lot of brands, but without much that would lend me confidence in their quality.

Who makes good spacers?

Eibach and Ichiba are the other 2 that come to mind.

These look very high quality. I think this is probably what I'm going to go with. Looking at the other options, these seem to be the best I've seen so far.

ok. Ill play... My suggestion: get single piece hubcentric spacers. Get ARP extended studs, they will work for: 5mm, 10mm, and 15mm spacers.

I have 5mm, 10mm, 12mm, 15mm, and 25mm spacers.

I have these...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/4pcs-12mm-5...ox!97412!US!-1

Running these in the front, 15mm in rear... They are machined perfectly. Use ARP extended studs with them. Additionally, their OD is the same as the brake rotor hub.

And these...

I had ichiba. mag center, aluminum outer. IMO, two piece are crap. These Universal spacers have a bigger OD than the Rotor hub. They look really stupid.

The parts max are nice. Not sure the OD.

Why three sizes?

Cost and or brand, does not guarentee quality.

Cost doesn't guarantee quality, but brands have reputations and some have better or worse reputations than others for quality. That is what I'm trying to get a grasp on, because this particular part is difficult to research what brands are even available, much less which are any good.

I think wheel spacers are perfectly safe to use when installed correctly and made properly. I'm confident in my understanding of their purpose and my ability to install them correctly. But as I'm not making them, I need some confidence that they are made properly before I bet my life on them on track.

I don't buy things off eBay for my car, ever.

I have 100% confidence in the machined aluminum chunks from ebay on my car.

Good luck!!!
