Hey i was wondering if anyone has put wheel spacers on their car, and if so did you have to get a new alignment, and which brand and size did you get? Id also like to see pics of the cars afterwards! Thanks!

I am going to grab some H&R 5mm spacers for the front, so my 14" se-r rims fit over my ad22's. I will post up how they work out.

No need for an alignment if you add spacers.

For any spacer over 3mm, its usually recommended to get extended wheel studs. The H&R kits are nice because they come with extended studs.

If you are looking at spacers (and a fair number of the wide-tire crowd use them on the back of the B13 to get rid of rubbing on the spring perch), DO get the ones that are made specifically for the bolt spacing for your ride. DON'T chance the generic one-spacer-fits-all approach; aside from balancing issues (from not being able to center it), you are riding on a time bomb, waiting for the studs to shear.

Do it right, do it once, do it safe, and rock it!

yeah look at wheel adaptors rather than wheel spacers if your wheels allow for it. Else the proper hub centric spacers with longer studs as mentioned ^^
