Would anyone be interested in some small wheel spacers?
I'm looking to get some small (~1/8" or ~3mm) hub centric wheel spacers made by a local shop (5x114.5 only, sorry 4-lug guys
![]() My intent is to use them on the front as my current setup is just barely making contact with the spring perch but is also very near the fender so a large spacer isn't practical (Enkei RPF1's 16x8 +32 wheels, 225/50R16 Toyo T1R tires and Stance GR+ coilovers). This would also help people with contact issues with the larger diameter drop springs like the Tanabe's and Tein's... After I gain some ability to adjust the camber on the rear I will also possibly be looking into some larger spacers for the rear (~3/8 or ~10mm). I have all the dimensions needed for a hubcentric spacer except the outer diameter. I'm not sure if I want to match the wheel or hub outer diameter, so input here is appreciated. See the sketch below for the current design (ignore the 175 mm outer diameter - that is just for reference at this time). ![]() One thing I have not yet decided is the material. I am currently thinking Al (6061?) but the 1/8" makes me worried. I didn't want to get into the more exotic stuff (magnesium infused whatever) to keep price down, but I also don't want mild steel for the obvious corrosion concerns. Any input would be appreciated. Just curious if anyone would be interested. I would need to know pretty quickly actually (will be sending the final drawing on Monday), but I will inquire anyway on some larger quantities (10, 20, etc.).
