i have the 25mm bolt on spacer from justjap on my rears making my 17x8 +35 rims +10 which is pretty flush. On stock rims, it would look alright, and certainly better looking than no spacer.

Check Rambo's big photos thread. On the front, i only have an 8mm slip on spacer making the offset +30. Very very close to flush, but with stock, same story, still would look better.

But be careful with the choice of bolt on spacer, make sure the specs are:
- 67mm center bore
- 1.5 thread pitch
- 5x114.3

If you can find those specs in a 30mm bolt on spacer, please let me know

is there a specific brand to go for? like H&R or hubcentric

[Bennoz]

300 bucks for 4 spacers?!?! f**k that.

Just go grab a couple of old FTO disc rotors & get them parted in half & trimmed down to size on a lathe. Job done.

How big did you say you could have the spacers without having to extend your wheel nut thingya ben?

[Bennoz]

bout 6mm

[vipfto]

bearing in mind people that that spacers are a big no no here but not sure for other states

[bushido]

yeh they're not legal here either. But a lot of mods are illegal

[Kustom]

Whatabout bolt-on spacers ben?

[Bennoz]

Still illegal. Anything that alters the track width of the car past the manufacturers specs is illegal (in NSW anyway)

Bolt on would however be the safest option, so long as it has the centre wheel locating hub.

[zuihoujueding]

thanks heaps! looks like buying from camskill is the way to go.

[Kustom]

I wasn't asking about being legal, with a bolt on spacer can I go further then 6mm ? Does a bolt on spacer extend the wheelnut things is what i'm asking lol.

[Gholdwayne]

Stef, these are the spacers I use: http://www.justjap.com/store/product.ph ... 269&page=1

as you can see, they bolt on to your hub, then your wheels bolt on to it. I use that on my rear, and on the front, just a pair of 8mm slip ons which seem to fit fine, no issues of lack of thread. Had to roll my guards for the 25mm bolt ons but it makes my rear wheels hella better than no spacers just because of the difference in looks it gives -- well to me anyways..

Cheers bro just what I was after... expensive buggers arn't they.

Why not get some of these and just change your wheel nuts over to some that have 1.25?

So, putting spacers just on the rear would f**k my handling up? Cause I was looking at it and my fronts don't really need to come out that much..

Or if I put a bigger on the rear then the front would that stuff my handling too?

Well lookie here, seriously, I have not thought of that!

Then again, the nuts that come with the spacer wont fit
into the fto studs.

Oh, and the centre bore has to be 67mm. I think that one you're referring to has 65 or 66 which I tell you, will not fit.

[Bennoz]

Always only ever go out the same distance on all 4, or it will f**k up the handling.
If you're worried the fronts will rub, get the gaurds rolled.

[Kustom]

Okay, cool. Sorted.. Thanks ben... won't be until after Autosalon though.. and i'm going to get them professional rolled.

@gholdy, oh my bad I just saw them and it came to mind... oh well was worth a shot

[Gholdwayne]

try getting it as flushed as how J's SSRs were with the black car! that instantly gave the car an awesome look!
