Anyone know where I can get a set of wheel spacers for a 1G DSM front and rear? I was on my way home when I thought about my new wheels I bought over Christmas break. I thought I'd put them on the hub, just to see what they'd look like on the car. Well, come to find out the axle and castle nut stick out too far through the center of the wheel. Far enough that you can't put the centercaps on if you mount the wheel up to the hub. Anyone have any ideas?

Like the big puddle of oil underneath the car? That's actually the transmission slowly leaking out of the crack in the housing. And, yes I know there's a tire iron in the picture. I left my impact gun at work and it was all I had wink.gif Thanks guys

I bought my "universal" wheel spacers from Plaza Tire in Peoria.

E-Bay's always an inexspensive route to go. Nice rims by the way...17's?

Yep 17x7 ADR Fuels. Is Plaza Tire on the net or do you know their phone number? Sorry, I don't have a Peoria phone book.

I've got a set I bought for the evo when I was planning on running the white kosei's on the car. The wheels didn't clear the calipers without the spacers, but then with the spacers, the lugs weren't long enough and at that point, I realized that white wheels on a black car wasn't a statement I really wanted to make.

If you're interested in buying them, pm me. Never used other than the single test fit on one wheel.

Well, now that I need extended lugs to go with the spacers, does anyone know where I could get a set of these extended lugs? I have to get a new set of lug nuts as well so, trying to use old lug nuts isn't an issue. Thanks

Either that or go without centercaps, which I've seen before. Gives it the, Go Fast Or Suck look.

www.roadraceengineering.com sells extended lugs.

Where is Winners Circle? I've heard of them, but never been there.

On N. Prospect in peoria by emo's ice cream. You can't miss that corner, it's the one with the freakishly carvinal style clown peering over the intersection like a gleeful harbinger of death.

That does seem like it would stand out...
