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??

for me, i would just get the same sizes all around so you can rotate. Dont quote me on the 5+ though i still have to experiment with my offset to get the right look i want. your best bet would be go to a smart shop that sells rims and tell them you want a flush look.

So you better run crazy front camber if you want it to look right. But then your rear will be at 0 camber and the whole look will fail. You cant run the same offset all the way around if you want it to be flush without spacers. You would be better off getting the front flush with no spacer and then add the spacer to the rear. -------------------- |
