Wheel Spacer Size??
 
Hi, what spacer size would you recommend for stock wheels with Eibach Sportline lowering springs? Brand?

Check out my setup, I have 20mm project kics spacers 4 wheels, should be with any lv of lowering needs

Bump on this.

I'm new to modifying my car. I ordered some Eibach Sportline Springs after reading some good reviews.
I had no idea I was going to need spacers. I definitely want the wheels flush to the body of the car. From the above post I'm assuming that 20mm is the cleanest option? I was looking at the Eibach Spacers. Is there another brand you'd recommend?

Also, what else am I going to need with the Sportline Springs? This car is just my DD and I don't do any track time. I'm simply lowering the car to get rid of wheel gap.
I've read a lot about needing struts, dampers, and a bunch of other additional parts. Is this true even if I'm only using it as a daily driver?

20-25mm "ADAPTERS"

They bolt up to the wheel hub, you won't need to put in longer hub bolts with adapters...

Make sure you get hubcentric ones...

ericmpena 08-02-2013 12:47 PM

So Adapters are different from Spacers because it'll let me use the same bolts?
Where can I find those? Do you have a link? I'd like to avoid purchasing the wrong item.

I think I found them on Eibach:

Widen Your Stance—For Better Handling
Made from High-Strength Aircraft-Aluminum Alloy
Precision Engineered Hub-Centric—for Perfect Fit and Wheel Balance
Reduced Weight Compared to Steel Wheel Spacers
Kit Includes 2 Spacers and all necessary mounting hardware
Million-Mile Warranty

Geez, $200 for a set of 2?? :(

I bought the b2autodesigns BRZ spacer/adapter kit for my FRS. The spacers are hubcentric and B2 is a vendor on the board. They shipped FAST. Got spacers from FL to CA in 2 days. I was very happy with the purchase.

Then I dropped it on RS-R SuperDowns yesterday, it looks OEM+++ and I'm quite happy. Car is being detailed today, but here is a pic I snapped late last night.

Specs:
20mm front
25mm rear
-1" front
-1.125' rear (as of this morning)

Thank you so much! $209 shipped is way better than $400 without shipping!

ericmpena 08-02-2013 02:11 PM

Which size do you recommend? I'm sure you've seen the FRS Concept before. I love how flush the wheels look on that car! What size would get me similar to this?

im running 20mm front 30mm rear. Perfectly flush with the fenders on stock wheels.

ericmpena 08-03-2013 02:09 AM

Thanks. Sounds dumb but I would'nt have realized the back fender is wider. Thanks for the heads up! Can't wait!!

I went by the dealership today and the actually have a black BRZ Limited with 18" black rims, on Eibach Pro line springs. It looked pretty sweet, but there was still a good 2 finger gap. It's not much, but I think the half inch more from the Sportline will look a little nicer in my eyes.

Just gotta order those spacers and then I'm all set!!

mit_peid 08-03-2013 02:18 AM

20mm/30mm will get you perfectly flush with the stock wheels/offsets and a 1" drop. Ask around for yourselves but consensus seemed to be H&R made the best spacers.

These fit perfect with factory wheels. Aftermarket wheels will need to have the whole in the back of the wheel to fit. Feel free to message me with any questions.

Thanks
Charles
