Stock alloys with spacers..

[92 OEM]

Anyone have a picture of a lowered cb7 with stock alloys and spacers? Knowing the thickness (5mm,10mm, etc) would be really helpful.

I want to lower my car 2", and keep the stock 92 OEM alloys, but really dislike how the wheels get sucked inwards when this happens. Can't seem to find any pictures or members with this set up. It's my Daily Driver and I drive like a grandma with a soiled pair of Depends on, so I am not really worried about the wheels falling off. Will probably either get the H&R kit or the Eibach kit which both come with longer studs.

Go with 5mm spacers. If you go any thicker, you lose threads on your lugs, leaving little thread for the nuts to grab. 5mm will bring your wheels near flush with the fender.

My car isnt lowered in the pics, but it's got Acura Legend rims. I HAD to use spacers otherwise these rims would not clear my front calipers, but the backs fit fine.

It's sorta hard to tell in photos, but in person you can notice a slight difference if you look at them compared to the rears with no spacers.

This is my car. I just have extended studs with 12mm universal spacers.

I wouldnt suggest this method, because the wheel wont rest on the hub anymore. The h&r spacers are the way to go!


^^^ damn, beat me to it mikey

are you guys using a 5mm spacer on stock studs?

[crazymikey]

I have ARP studs.

how much lug nut was holding the wheel on? i have a set and i attempted to put them on my car but the lug nut was only threading on like 1/4 inch...

[choogee3]

ARP studs are an inch and a half longer than stock i belive.

Hey choogee3, thanks for the reply. I took a look at your members thread and, your car looks clean. A couple of questions though:

Which picture are with spacers and which are not (With it lowered, that is)? I think I can tell but just want to be sure.

After putting on the 12mm spacers, with the Neuspeed kit on the lowest perch, do the outside on your tires rub on the inside of the fenders at all?

Thanks for your input, every little bit helps!

this was my idea also
my wheels are so cambered in though 5mm wouldnt do much
i didnt know you could use 5 on stock studs though i may try that

best bet: ARP extended studs
MAY have to buy open end lug nuts too im not sure depending on your spacers
and i wouldnt worry about it rubbing the outside of your tire on your fender with that kind of drop

Yeah on my sig picture I've got my ITRs on 5mm spacers up front and I'm using oe style ball seat lugs. If you do this make sure to use ONLY those type of lugs otherwise the lugs won't seat properly on the stock wheel. Max on stock studs I would go is 5mm FYI a 1/4 inch is about 6.25mm which I think is too much for stock studs

All of the lowered pics are with spacers.

Im running -1.5 degrees of camber on the front, with a 195/55/15. Never ever rubbed once.

If i bought them again, i would want 15 or 20mm spacers.

Hmm...I wonder if any member of this site is using 20mm spacers on stock wheels?

If so pictures would be great!

thats not safe

get adapters and not spacers. Your stock lug nuts will hold to the existing studs, and the extra new studs will be the one comming out. You need to get the right center bore, thread pitch of the threads, and the right lug pattern.

this is just for an example. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/25mm-...Q5fAccessories

I run one in my z and its perfect, there are cheaper brands but I opted for a set of the more expensive ones. They are also hubcentric.
