Help! Stillen H&R Spacer Problem!
Hi, guys. Ordered the H&R 15mm DRM front and 20mm DRS rear spacers from Stillen. Got them today, but the 15mm fronts aren't working! Checked that I have correctly labeled boxes.
Basically, the tech is telling me the wheel studs themselves (in addition to the supplied lug nuts) are unable to clear the relief well openings in the back of the wheel, which prevents the wheel from being flush mounted to the spacer. *Does this make sense? *Again, the stud is contacting the edge of the relief well. What I'd like to know is: how many of you have successfully installed these with the 19", non-Anny. Rays wheels? Also, any advice? I appreciate your assistance, guys! |

You have to get the type of spacer with replaceable longer lugs. Not the type where it has it's own lugs.
|
Only 20mm will work. That's the 2nd time stillen has sold the wrong spacers.

probably if you went DRS both front and rear you'd be fine.

The bolt on ones <20mm won't work for most wheels (including the stock wheels). Stillen needs to make a note of this fact so they stop selling them by default. Basically they gave you your order backwards. It should have been: 15mm DRS 20mm DRM The fronts are the easiest to do the stud replacement on anyway. Use the 20mm DRM style on the rear so you don't have to disassemble the parking brake. Although I did DRS style on all 4 corners and it wasn't bad at all. Now you've got the problem that Stillen wont take them back because they have been "installed" (or failed install as the case maybe). |
I've got H&R 20mm DRS at the front and 25mm DRM at the rear. The camber at the rear is a little aggressive as there was risk of rubbing due to having eibach springs.
If I was to do it again I'd have 20mm front and rears. Don't forget that you require the rear camber kit... |
Well to be fair, he ordered them online.. we couldn't have known specifically what his goals were. We sell the DRM's because some like them for the rear. And if you think we haven't gotten orders for 20mm fronts and 15mm rear, you'd be wrong.. not my cup of tea, but we don't make demands in how you want to set up your car.
We are, however, refining our website to help reflect a proper choice between DRS and DRM. And make some specific notes to help customers. The last thing we'd want is confusion.. |

You just need to expand the comment you have on the web site that warns about the anniversary wheels not being compatible with the 15mm DRM. |

Basically you ordered the wrong parts and blamed Stillen for it. Cool.
|
He probably ordered it off stillens website because it says it works on the 370z. So you can't blame the guy. What's the point of buying online if you have to call in to verify it works.
