I've been searching the internet for sources for wheel spacers and wheel studs, but haven't been able to find anyone that lists what I'm looking for...a 1/2" thick spacer for a 4x114.3 pattern, and 12x1.50mm studs 1/2" longer than standard. Where is everyone buying these things?

Thanks,
Rich

 

Maybe give wheelspacers.com a try. I talked to the guy on the phone (he gives you a call after you fill out the request form on the site), very nice guy! Also his son has a FD that was given to him by Charlee Sheen lol (the guy sure likes telling stories haha). Its worth a shot!

 

Direct replacement,extended studs for the GSL-SE can be aquired from ARP.
They are listed for a late model Camaro,but they are the correct metric size for the SE.They are a full 60MM long,but I dont see any reason why you couldnt cut them down if you have too.I run them through my H&R rear spacers on the SE rear axle,they work great.

Here are the spacers I run.Go to the Mazda section,they list 2 sizes for the 114.3MM pattern slip on spacers.Very high quality,German made units......

Fred is a great guy. One of the old-time dragracers. Went up to his shop to get some spacers done on the spot while I waited and got to listen to a bunch of car stories, including the FD from Charlie Sheen. Within an hour I was driving off with my custon hub and wheel centric spacers.

Don't know if they have what you need or not, haven't looked lately.

 

When I go to wheelspacers.com, it forwards to wheeladapter.com. Is that the same place?

Thanks,

Thanks steve84GS TII -

I talked to Fred and he is going to make the spacers for me...I'll check with ARP for the studs. I assume they have the correct knurl since you are using them.

Mine are in production right now i am making and selling them. My friend is a machinist and they are completly professional. the first set should be done in a couple days and i will test fit them then start mass producing them. PM me if you are intersted. Final price is undecided but probobaly around $275. I can do any pattern or size.

 

You can still find the studs that go directly in the hub for about $48 a set. Only problem is you gotta go to Puerto Rico or have someone ship them to you.

 

That seems awfully steep for a couple of 1/2" spacers, but I sure hope it's not that much. Fred hasn't given me a price yet, and I haven't seen many prices on the internet, so maybe I'm way off base. All I want to do is move the wheel out 1/2".

I better start paddling!

$26 each. Call them and see if they come in our pcd. http://www.truckn-store.com/product....p%26ID%3D98085

 

Thanks trochoid...I'll give them a try. I know I'm going to say "duh" when you tell me, but what is "pcd"?

Thanks,
Rich

 

I was afraid someone was going to ask that. I don't remember what the acronym stands for, but our pcd is 4X110.

Those spacers are in the 1st link I posted, different page. I need to order a pair of 2" ones for the front of the widebody, been too cheap lately.
