...mostly used as a fashion statement for the bulldog squat stance. Here is the write-up...
"If you've ever seen a sleek, European sedan with that oh-so-low street stance and a bulging wheel/ tire combo that just barely tucked under the wheel wells, chances are that car was fitted with H&R TRAK+ wheel spacers. TRAK+ wheel spacers move the wheel out from the hub, effectively widening the stance of the vehicle and lowering its roll center. This simple modification increases lateral stability, which in turn provides improved handling, greater safety and of course, the sleek style you've been looking for.
Have you ever seen 'to-die-for' wheels on a Porsche, but not been able to get a set for your ***? Now you can with H&R TRAK+ Wheel Adapters. Available in thicknesses ranging from 20mm to 25mm, H&R TRAK+ Wheel Adapters change a vehicles bolt pattern so that wheels from a different vehicle make or model may be fitted. Popular applications include fitment of Porsche wheels to Audi, BMW, Chevrolet, Ford, Honda, Mercedes, and Volkswagen."
those are gonna make a bad situation a lot worse. you want more offest and thats gonna do the opposite. these are gonna make your wheels that barely rub the fenders stick OUTSIDE past it.
Just because a company lists a product for a car, doesn't mean it will work on your car.
i.e. H&R may do a spacer kit for the Jazz (and other Honda) but this is not a specific fitment, as 4x100 is used on a lot of European cars which can use a wide spacer. Hence just becuase the Jzz uses a 4x100 spacer, they list it in their line up.
On FWD Japanese cars, fender rubbing is a major after market wheel issue and the last thing you want to do is put a spacer on it!
Hence I could not relate to how your link to H&R would help out fellow Jazz owners.....
This kind of modification is not for issues with wheel rub, thats an issue with new guys to cars wanting something super low super cool. If you're rubbing its for 1 reason. Too low or too wide or both. In the case where the extra drop helps or you really notice a huge improvement with a half inch more tire and you race or autox then yes... bang out the fenders to get the clearance. However 90% of the time its the issue i mentioned above.
Now these parts as mentioned by a few people wont help rubbing at all. But they do help with something else which H&R mentioned. Roll Center. On my sentra the front track was much wider than the rear and when lifting while autoxing or late braking the rear end was very unstable and would break loose. Widing my rear by 15mm's on each side made a night and day difference. Thats what these are good for. The rear of the fit feels somewhat the same way. I plan on using this product at some point.
It sounds interesting to at least upgrade your lug count! If i could put on the old DC2 Type R gun metal 5 lugs rims on the FIT!!!!! That would be NICE!
I've never had a problem with H&R products. Their r&d is top notch. I've ran their spacers in other cars without any problems. Having said that, do your research to make sure this is the mod you want.
