Default 3mm Wheel Spacer?

Does anyone know where i can a set of 3mm wheel spacers that will fit the center bore of a RSX Type S? According to H&R, the RSX center bore is 64.1mm.

I have 17"X7.5" wheels with a 45 offset right now on 225/45/17 size tires and when i make a U turn, there's a slight rub coming from the inner wheel well. I want to get rid of that rub, plus it would be nice to pull the wheel a little more outwards toward the outer fender lip.

H&R only make 5mm spacers. Any help would be appreciated. And yes, i did a search in the archive under the RSX forum because my topic is RSX specific. Thanks.

Hmm...did you slam your car? I thought 45mm is the ideal offset

No, my car is lowered roughly 1.7-2" in the front. It's rubbing the inner fender well.

Edit: I just received an email back from discount tires. They said they do not carry wheel spacers because they believe "they're not safe." A proper 3mm spacer shouldn't do any harm.

I haven't seen any 3mm at all. 5mm is the smllest anyone sells....I guess you can custom make a set for yourself from a machine shop, I'll let you use my 5mm spacer for mold. 42 is better than my 43 cause i still get alittle rub on the right inside fender well with my 225 aznies. let me know if you need the spacers.....
