Wheel spacers
 
What do you guys think about spacera? I've read around and a lot of people said good things about them, but what are your thoughts? I'm thinking of lowering my car about an inch with TRD springs.

Never heard of spacera spacers.

I thought they ruined the handling and something else?
I remember I put spacers on my Subaru for 1 week and didn't like the way the car felt so took them off and sold them haha.

Hi, I have Eibach spacers, 20mm front and 25mm back. Dropped circa 35mm using Eibach Sport line springs. The car looks great, the jiggly ride on standard UK spec springs has gone. As for the spacers, I haven't noticed any change in handling however only done about 400miles since the switch.

I have b2 designs 20 and 25 ...got more tire noise from my dunlops z ... Doesn't have the same turning capability in closed spaces... There are a couple of threads around...I've got no problems at all thus far....i will take out and clean at 5,000 and rotate tires... I think the car needs the more aggressive stance with the stock wheels...for me, the compromises are worth the look they give ....with stock wheels...

I agree, the drop and spacers has improved the look 100%. I am now thinking of upgrading the tyres and getting the wheels painted one colour (dark grey possibly).

Sandwich Spacers + Extended Lugs = Good
"Adapter" Spacers = Bad

Spacers should only be in compression, not tension.

I have 5mm front, 15mm rear spacers. It's expensive as you also need to get longer studs put in. And you need to drop the hubs in the rear to make longer studs fit. Easier to get wheels with the offset you want vs trying to make the stock wheels poke out a bit.
