Hey guys,

I searched the forums for a definitive thread on spacers and could not really find one. There is a lot of talk about spacers through out the forums in different threads, but thought we could all have one spot to share our experience.

What year car do you drive?
What size spacers are you using?
Where did you get the spacers?
Do you have a picture to show?

Show us your stuff!

Ive had good experience with H&R 15mm (extended stud) and 25mm (bolt on) Spacers.

I recently bought and installed custom 21mm spacers from Motorsport-tech.

Everything has worked fine for me. As a tip I would spread a thin layer of anti-seize on the surface that mates to the hub and rotor. Spacers tend to fuse themselves to the hub

I've always used Ichiba spacers and they've never failed on me. Always come out in good shape and it's lasting good.

I've been using Ichiba 25mm spacers for awhile now on my 95 GT and i haven't had any issues. Bought them off ebay.

Are there no 94 ones on there?
They will work,
Edit: centre bore is the same!
15mm, make sure you have sufficient room on the back of your wheel to accommodate for the original studs poking through.

And that price is for a pair. $10 shipping I believe.

And would i be buying 1/2/4 for that price ?


You would be buying a pair for that price. Specs are right, only thing is 15mm bolt ons you need to have very deep cut out in the backs of your alloys where the stock bolts go through, or grind off your stock studs (or replace them). Need 25mm to clear the stock studs.

What kind of rotor is that?

I'm not really sure on the brand, it was an eBay knockoff but i haven't had any issues with them.

Was thinking about getting some eBay knock off ones. Since I don't even track my car. Do they still bite as good as the OEM ones though?

I can't say for certain since i have organic pads on there right now. Would be better to test them with ceramic pads. I rarely use them since i downshift every time i have to stop.

Too bad I barely bought my ceramic pads last year. I'll wait til mine wears out before purchasing a set. smile.gif

Couldn't see any 15mm that said 94 that's why i wasn't sure.

Don't really want to replace/ cut the studs though kindasad.gif

Since you don't track it I would just suggest OEM, Brembo, or Raybestos blank rotor.

Chovies, those studs are 12x1.5 - isn't our spec 12x1.25?

Add on to that. Our cars will fit any 5x100 bolt pattern, 12x1.5 thread size, and 54.1 centerbore with plug and play. In other words you can search up Scion TCs or any other 5 lug celicas and you'll be fine. I believe Subaru Imprezas also have the exact same size as us.

I believe some Imprezas are 5x114.3.

Just go on ebay and look for OEM WRC wheels. There are 114.3 and 100. What am I am saying is don't go in blindly into buying without checking the pattern.

Most imprezzas and wrx are 5x100. Sti are 5x114.2.
Centre bore wouldn't matter as long as its bigger, you can get rings to fill the gap.
With the spacers, technically you can get any 5x100 spacers if the centre bore fits. If the thread is 12x1.25 you just need to get new lugs to fit them!

What's the biggest spacer you can safely use without having to go extended lug?

My wheels don't have cutouts in the back and I don't really want to use 25mm spacers. I've searched but have found several different answers. Anybody a little more sure?

I'd guess max 10mm but I wouldnt risk it. So 5mm.
