SPACERS - H&R vs. Generic eBay ($52 w/bolts) - Any Concerns? (see product link)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/HUBCENTRIC-W...ht_4326wt_1346
If I buy these versus the name brand H&Rs, do any of you that know your wheels/offsets/etc (I don't know much at all) have any concerns on the design or will there be any functional differences versus the H&R? I am just looking to get tiny 5mm spacers on my rear OEM 18" wheels so they are flush... Thanks for your help RB |
Specs look right, so you're really just looking at build quality. If it's off even slightly, you're gonna have ton of wheel vibration. At $52 for generic, I'd rather just stick with Trak+ and buy my own bolts as price difference is negligible.

also, what is difference between ball and conical bolts on our cars and why should you pick one over the other? I notice 5mm sets dont have the lip that larger spacers have: 5mm http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/a...2/OS-5SWSB.jpg http://www.turnermotorsport.com/imag...spacers_lg.jpg 10mm with lip http://www.e90post.com/forums/attach...1&d=1207984801 And after reading this thread that talks about 5mm spacers vibrating a ton and causing nothing but problems:https://mbworld.org/forums/clk-class...vibration.html Is there anybody here running 5mm spacers successfully? If not, I guess I will go with 10s, even though it might be too much |
10mm will have lip because there's not enough space left on the hub to safely support the wheel. 5mm shouldn't have any issues which is why there's no lip. The bolt seat will depend on wheels as some wheels use ball and some use conical. As for thread length, just take your stock bolt, measure it, and add the size of the spacer to determine the thread length you want. Also pay attention to the shank length when you measure.

The ebay seller has excellent feedback

I'm not running spacers on my MB, but have them on my other vehicles. I haven't had any vibrations so far, but they're properly prepped and cleaned prior to install.
