Looks great. thanks for posting. can't wait to see it after the eibachs.

That looks really good MiniCobra. Where'd you get the spacers from?

Update: I'm assuming you went with these? http://www.ichibausa.com/15albowhsp6.html Correct me if I'm wrong.

No, those would probably work on the rear though, but not on the front. The front wheel doesn't have large enough slots in the back to clear the stock studs. They will hit, and the rim will not fit flush against the spacer.
Semtex already tried this.

I went with these: 15MM Aluminum Wheel Spacers
Takes a little longer to install b/c you have to push out the stock studs, but they are lighter, and you don't have to worry about two sets of bolts to check for tightness.

I'm curious how this affects the handling. Any reports you have will be much appreciated. Do you track the car?

Looks GREAT!!! Love it!!! I was told it helps handling a bit. I find it hard to notice but I usually don't push mine to the limits. GREAT PICS!

It definitely improves the handling, giving a wider stance by 30mm over stock, seams like it hooks up better. I also installed Eibach Progressive Springs (full review coming) yesterday, so I didn't get to put a lot of time on the spacers by themselves. I don't track the car, yet

Wow! Thats a sweet ride. How long does it take to install the spacers? Can you give me the part # for the spacers? Thanks bro.

Here is the link: 15MM Aluminum Wheel Spacers The ones that come with the studs already installed in the spacer should work as well, but only for the rears. The front you will have to replace the stock studs, b/c the rim isn't cut out on the the backside to clear them.

nice mini... it will go good with the eibach because the eibach tucks the wheels in a lil! great job

bullitt5897 · 04-14-2009, 12:00 PM

This is good news

this also means those trying to find the right offset in wheels can see what a 19 x 10 wheel will look like given a 15mm drop in offset and zero camber change

Good Job Mini! Thnx!

Ok, finished installing the front 15mm spacers. Thanks to Lou from Amplified Motorsports.

Car feels even more planted now, still has good turn-in, but sticks much better. The picture of the longer studs is on the rear, hence the parking brake.

batman_4 · 04-17-2009, 03:17 AM

that looks really good

. i think i'm going to make this my 1st mod, spacers + drop. however i'm thinking on going w/a 20mm on the rear.
