Gotcha, thanks guys. So I want "4x100, 10mm, 2-piece, hub-centric spacers"?

Back to Google I go


(I can't be the first one without access to a press to put 10+ mm on. Anyone have a link to something that's known-good?)

I don't think you will need to torch the hubs, they aren't really that hard to get out. Mine popped without a lot of pressure being put on them (I have a twelve ton shop press) You may even be able to get away with using a large punch and a five pound sledge hammer to drive them out. Of course you can also go the bolt on route, whichever makes you more comfortable.

Thinking bolt-on at this point. Thoughts on these? Say they're for a del-sol, but the specs look the same I think?

Now you are up to 15-mm!? WTF...this is a bad idea getting worse...
Nice try...The Fit has 70.1-mm center bore...won't fit.

I don't know that a 15mm would work with stock wheels AND lowering. That would probably cause serious rubbing without a bumper tab-ectomy and some lip rolling just FYI.

Talking Before and after spacers

I have a GD3 and have 25mm out back and 15mm up front w/no problems and it's been a year +, on stock 15" sport rims.
and yes they have the lugs in them ichiban and I did it because the factory had the wheels pulled in too far! That or fatter tires and less MPG, not.

It does look nice. But, you are at stock height correct? I'm just thinking that if OP wants to go lower as well he may have problems with rubbing. BTW, what tire size are you running? Looks like a 205-55 like me....

Thanks G.P.,
195/60/15 eagle gt
Ran mine about a month with stock shocks, no good
I added airshocks to MzFiT and the biggest reason was rubbing. And at the same time it raised the load capacity by 1.5k lbs. @ 120 psi. and it looks StUpId high . 40#'s is good though.

appreciate all the feedback guys... I'll definitely approach the spacer thing with caution. I'm going to get the springs installed first and then see what I'm dealing with.

At this point, I suspect I'll keep the front stock and consider adding a 5mm ring to the rears.

peace
