Hi, anyone knows where I can buy 5mm spacers with the lip? I have a set with out the lip and there is nothing left from the hub sticking out to properly center the wheels other then the bolts.

Thanks

Apparently nobody makes them that small with a lip

What size spacers if any do you run with your wheels and your PPS9s? I was thinking getting a set of 10mm and bolts just in case. I know it depends on the wheels so I might be ok with my existing 3mm but good to be prepared just in case so I don't have to keep the car in the shop while I run around trying to get spacers.

Also what is the length of the threaded shaft part on the lugs you are selling? I need that part to be 22mm + 10mm spacers = 32mm so I guess anywhere from ~30mm to max 32mm.

I am using 10mm spacers all around. The front spacers are necessary to clear my brakes. Lol the thread length is 50mm...wow

M-bENZ

Lol.

dariusf

wait I got the measurements all wrong, that what happens when you post from memory on the train. 16mm is what I need to stick out once I put the lugs in the wheels. I need to go back to my notes or measure back home.

Rudy was using 3mm spacers with your brakes and my wheels (when he had them on his car)

dynomite05

lol, that's probably cuz of the offset of the wheels. I bet your fronts are around ET28-30?

dariusf

well from what I understand these are


19x8.5 32mm offset 32mm - 3mm spacer = 29mm running now with OEM brakes

19x9.5 35mm offset

dynomite05

Yea, mine are ET35 all around. I probably could of gone with an 8mm spacer up front but they don't have a lip so I went with the 10mm

dariusf

Ok so the lugs I run are 25mm on front with the existing 3mm spacers. Any longer and I was not able to get them tightened up. So with out any spacers I need 22mm.

On the rear I run 23mm lugs with no spacers. Anything longer and I was hitting the e-break.

So back to your lugs for sale, you have 50mm and I need 22mm + 10mm = 32mm

dynomite05

Lugs are a PITA. Cost me a week or two of downtime.

dariusf

true, I know exactly what I need with existing wheels so adding spacers is easy to calculate what I will need with given spacers. I have lugs to go with 3mm and 5mm spacers so all I need now is a set of 10mm spacers and 32mm lugs to go with them.

I think everyone gets confused as the length of the lug depends on the actual rims and how much lug is left sticking out. I found that the lugs need to stick out from the rims 16mm all else adds to the total length. With my wheels and no spacers I need 23mm lugs max.

dynomite05

Good Luck. When do you plan on getting everything installed?

dariusf

Well I need to order some missing parts and these 10mm spacers / lugs. Then planning on doing it the following weekend after I have all parts. So hopefully before the end of the month. I still need to find some places and get some quotes. One place quoted $1100 including alignment (a rape) and another $400 excluding alignment.

Luke_Geezy

$1100 with alignment? wow. thats terribly expensive man. and i just messaged you, i might have some 10mm eibach spacers for you. no lugs though. just got myself a pair of 20mm rear spacers so my 10's are coming off, and i just sold my 5mm's.

dynomite05

Yea $1100 is quite a bit. There is a big *** gap between those prices. Were these quotes just for wheels/tires?

dariusf

that shop is a tad high, thats for sure The $400 one is still a bit high given the time this should take. I still have time, no rush so I will look around what else I can find.

dariusf

Both quotes were for install of the PSS9 coilovers. The high one included the alignment but thats like $150 tops anyway.

dynomite05

Wow. My shop included the install in the $1800 they charged me for the PSS9's. So the $400 was for the install minus the alignment?

dariusf

1800 including the install was a great price. $400 is the other shop just for the install. I posted another thread here about the cost of the install and most paid $300 range + alignment
