Best Rear Spacer
My current suspension and wheel/tire fitment:
H&R Sport Springs with Tokico HP Blues Rota RB Rims (16X7 ET 40) Falken Ziex 195/50/16 I want to space my rears out - ideally 10mm. I have a set of Ichiba 10 mm spacers with the extended lugs. I'm having second thoughts about them because I don't like the extended lugs they come with and am not sure of their quality vs H&R Trak spacers. I am also intrigued by the Penguin hub spacers because I like the idea of having the spacer behind the brake assembly, out of the way. I'm just concerned about corrosion etc. So, for everyone that's tried these three, please chime in and vote with comments. The 10mm spacer to go with is: 1) Ichiba Wheel Spacer 2) H&R Trak+ Wheel Spacer 3) Penguin Hub Spacer |

PG is great if you're not going to change the spacer again soon. It allows you to use your stock lug nuts, so it's also cost effective.
Of the others, H&R is a superior product, but again, if you're not going to take the wheels off on a regular basis, the Ichiba might work fine for you. All three are available in our online store, and we are happy to ship to Canada.

+ 1 for PG. No fuss, no muss, gets the job done.

You've already got Ichiba so might as well use them. I've had no issues with mine other than yeah, you have to replace the lugs. Ichiba lugs are sub-par and way too long.
Go to NAPA for some new lugs. Part# is 641-2196

Is there a reason the 10mm PG spacers do not come with washers?
I'm assuming it's advisable to use them. |

The 10mm spacers come with washers so the bolts clear. Otherwise, no it's not necessary.

Perhaps I'm mistaken but the MicroImage Online site advertises the PG hubspacers as follows:
These rear hub spacers come complete with everything needed for correct installation including: *2 6061-T6 aircraft grade aluminum hub spacers (10mm or 13mm width) *8 Class 12.9 socket head capscrews *8 Hardened washers (13mm only) That suggests the 10mm hub spacers do NOT come with washers. I'm going to order the 10mm ones but would like to know if I should be using washers with them. Thanks. |

I don't know why there would be 8 of them, but I had always thought the washers were included to add some negative camber. Rubbing became more of an issue with 13mm over 10mm, especially on the passenger side tire.

I have the PG 10mm spacers. When I got them they came with washers, but I didn't use them or need them. I think WeeYari has it correct.
