Picking the right wheel spacers, which one to choose? Options

[808celica]

Just got word that FatLace/HellaFlush might be having HellaFlush 4 in Hawaii. I've been putting off getting wheel spacers with the hubcentric ring (not the knock off ones with no hub ring) for a very long time. First i was gonna get them for the GTS rims. Now I'm running my 18's daily, so which one should I get? Both are hubcentric for 54.1 centerbore on the celica. Version 1 comes with extended studs that you put in place of your stock ones. Or version 2 that has studs in the spacer itself and special gold nuts that fasten down your stock studs. V.2 seems to be the easier one to install, V. 1 seems to be safer cuz it's 1 lond stud. I'm only showing the brand Ichiba because they're the only one that's certain to have the extended studs for v.1 (hubcentric) or what v.2 has(lug centric).

sooo.........here's version 1

and version 2

which one?? Now for the last question what size?? 10mm, 15mm or 20mm. I have 5mm rings that make the rim......so so. Should I get the 10mm and try it out first then go 15mm if I don't like it? or go straight the 15mm and camber the heck out of wheels to be somewhat within safety check Either way I HAVE TO raise the car a little in order to stay within Hawaii's Road law "Rim diameter can be any size, but it must be inside of the wheel well."


and yes i did read this:

Nerd. Just buy wheels that fit.


That's one great thing about the MR2. Many places sell staggered wheels with flush offsets for MR2s.

I like these wheels though.

As long as you get longer studs, and go with a recognized make, like H&R you will have no problems.


If you go cheap, you will be in danger of losing a wheel, damaging suspension and bearings and losing a crapload of performance due to the extra weight that you have to rotate....

Fo sho' Boss some auctions said that the extended studs only vary with car make/model. I did ask the seller though if the celica spacers for H&R he's selling has the extended studs.
