5mm Spacer, for those that have used spacers...
I'm looking at getting a set of 5mm spacers to clear my new brakes on my EK.
I need them so i can get my 16" +44 offset K1 wheels to clear my new TL 4 piston brakes, and I think the 5mm should do the trick.
My question is, what is the difference between the H&R spacers that sell for $50-$60 for a set of 2 and the genaric E-bay models that sell for $25 shipped?
Is there any centering or anything here to think about?

Yes. The H&R units are MUCH better quality and center themselves on the hub. I run them for this reason

after breaking a couple sets of cheaper ones, i now run the h&r's with no issues. note that the cheap ones broke while running diamond steelie 13x8's, which are not hub-centric and contact the hub face (well, the spacer) on a fairly small area. ymmv.

15 mm spacer
I got a thick 15mm made from here: http://www.wheeladapter.com/wh...s.asp
Didn't go with integrated stud setup -- so this means you need long wheel studs.
H&R stuff is better made (coating, weight, machine quality (no sharp edges))
You can also try http://crowautomotive.com/bpage.html
I've been to both of these places btw, but only direct experience w/ the former.
Took about 1-2 weeks to get them made.

how much did they charge you? I already have my extended studs installed which is one reason I'm trying to avoid the integrated stud setup...
thanks

Re: i forgot (STN_Pat)
These guys make some really nice spacers. Only up to 10mm so it's not going to help you much tho

H&R Hubcentrics, with non-integrated studs. With this big of a spacer, go with something high-quality and hubcentric:

Thats what I have been looking at so far...
I also found these on E-bay but I may just cough up the extra $20 and get the H&R's... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVW
