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 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT and version 2 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT 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: http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=69919 .............all of it What would Harold_Fastwaker pick??

If you run 17x8 wheels with 30 offset on all 4 corners then your spacers will adjust for the flushness. You can still rotate your tires. But if they have different offsets to begin with then that is a non tire rotating wheel set. Same thing like I have, 8.5 up front 9.5 in rear. No tires can be rotated. -------------------- |

No tires can be rotated. another reason why i wanna flush my wheels and not get another set. Normally rims people buy for these cars have a 30-35 range offset so GET 25mm spacers!!!!!! -------------------- I don't normally drive fast, but when I do its on a curvy section of this island
