Slip On Spacer Questions

Xerodx · 02-22-2015, 08:24 PM

So I'm to much of a cheapo to buy hub-centric spacers. so will a 12mm slip on spacer be good enough. These in particular (2) 12mm (1/2") Hubcentric Wheel Spacers for Nissan Infiniti G35 G37 350z 370z Altima Maxima (66.1) - Newegg.com . Will it be to big and not be able to fit the studs?

I wouldn't go cheap on something like that. Save up to do it right or don't do it.

Snap studs probably. How much is your life worth?

You'll find very quickly that very few on this forum are of the mind set of buying cheap parts. Not that we don't value money. The philosophy is that it's going to cost you more to fix later than spending the proper amount of money to do it right the first time.

It may be hard to believe but spending the money now will save you a lot more in the long run.

Thanks guys. I just wanted some opinions on them. I don't wanna mess up so I will go with hubcentric then. Thanks

the ones you linked are hubcentric...you will need to purchase extended studs to go with them.
