Hey guys I was just wondering, those who run spacers on 2G's if they could post the size of the spacer as well as the wheel info. Thanks

(im trying to get an idea of how it would look)
 
if you are trying to go for the spanish american look with the wheels popped out all i have to say if you use spacers don;t be doing really aggressive handling
 
I had to run a 1/4" spacer in the back in order to get my center caps to sit flush on the wheel.

You can't even notice it.
 
I'm in the same boat. I'm looking for spacers because I want to get the wheel flush with the fenders. I'm on the 10th edition OZ's. If someone could tell me the specs on the oz's and the other (not rs) wheels that would be cool.

Buddy of mine has RX7 wheels with spacers on his talon. I did not even know until he told me. It wasnt even noticable but the rims did not stick out past the fenders.
 
Com'on. This thread is really silly. Whether or not the car has spacers is, at best, only half of the story. The issue is what the (final) offset is. For example, there is no difference between a car with +40mm offset wheels with 10mm spacers and a car with +30mm offset wheels and no spacers. So, unless you all start including the wheel offset in your posts, you are wasting time and (probably) causing confusion.

This isn't a Honda forum.

If you already have purchased your wheels with incorrect offset H&R makes good spacers that bolt to your hub then you wheels bolt to the spacer I have seen them from 0.5"-1.75" thick.

Yea, I want to do the same thing but definately confused. Do the spacers do anything performance wise to the car or is it just looks? What would be the recommended spacer thickness?
 
If you get spacers with say factory wheels or wheels with the same off set as factory they would increase the width of your wheel base. How much this would help your handeling i am not sure. If you have the incorrect offset and your wheels sit under your car too far it would sure help the looks of your car. I used to autocross a Mustang :thumbdown and i ran 1.5" H&R spacers in the rear and 0.75" H&R spacers in the front. I never tryed running the same course with and with out the spacers to compare times so i can't testify to the preformance gains. If givin the option I would suggest getting the correct offset in the first place.
