These here which look exactly like the one's Steeda and American Muscle sell. They're made of 6061 Billet aluminum and the studs are grade 8 hardened steel. These slip over the stock studs and the wheel goes on the studs on the spacer. FYI-This requires sawing the studs on the front wheels about a 1/4 inch so that the studs on the spacer don't rub the back of the bullits.

FYI...Be careful with the wheel spacers. I worked for Discount Tire Co. in Houston for 3 years while I was going to school (yes I still get a FAT discount on my tires, and the only way we would install spacers or even touch a vehical with spacers on it was with written approval by the manager. If you go that direction be sure to torque them properly on the initial install, then drive about 20-30 miles and retorque, then retorque after anouther 200-300 miles, and have them retorqued at every rebalance and rotation. I would hate to see or here about someone having a wheel fall off just because they wanted a look, and it has happened, that is why I bring this up. I'm not bashing, just informing.

 

Here's mine with black GTRs and Nitto 555s.

 

 

I read through numerous threads in numerous forums and the only time I saw cases of people having problems was when they went with spacers that just slide over the stock studs and have the wheels go on the stock studs. Didn't find one thread of people using spacers like mine or people that used longer studs reporting issues. The majority of stories were "I had a friend who's wheel flew off at 80mph".

BTW-My local Discount tire mounted my new wheels and didn't say anyting about the spacers.

 

Man I love these rims, old school looking yeah modern at the same time!

 

some very nice cars here. i am so on the fence about 18's or 20's

 

Don't get me wrong, your car looks Nice, I just wanted to share my experience with them. If you get them have them put on by a pro (like you did). The manager at the store you used might not have had a bad experience with spacers, but at one point in time the guy I worked for did. And the store I worked at was in the top 10 out of 500+ stores nation wide so we did about 150-200 cars a day, you can never be too careful with other peoples cars or lives.

 

Sorry didn't mean it to come off as a personal attack. I just wanted to show my reasoning and that it is a safe mod if you get the right equipment and install it properly.

Back to topic....

That windveil car looks AWESOME

 

Heres my Shelby Razor 18's and Eibach lowered

 

tdbrown75, what chin spoiler is that? Astra Hammond? Looks like good clearance even on the drop?

 

Yes, its the Astra Hammond. My car is lowered with Steeda Ultralights, and I have about a soda can's worth of clearance (4 1/2 inces or so). It's pretty low but I've not had any problems around town.

While I disagree that 20s are too much for daily use (actually toying with the idea of getting a set, lol), here's my 18s:
