can i get some pics of anyone with H&R wheel spacers on their Gen 3s?

i just need a few pics of the spacers, because the ones provided by H&R suck ...

I dont have any pics since theyre on my car right now, but I should be able to get you some this week when I put my wheels on for the show. The stud holes are beveled on one side only, same with the center hole if that helps.

I can suggest that you should make the hub-centering "step" a bit taller than the factory hub. Most wheels can accomodate a taller hub, but the taller hub still lets you put on a few 3mm or 5mm spacer on top of it just in case you need it...lol I had custom spacers made, just to find out that a year later, my new set of wheels wanted another -5mm offset and my wheels are no longer hubcentric...

alright guys - i just got an email (see below), which means i need to nail the design so i can have these cut ... but i have one more question:

for the H&R 5mm spacers, do they have the hubcentric ring like whats pictured on the left, or are they just like the spacers on the right?



Email:
For those of you who are do some design work on parts of the car that need to be cut with a CNC, let me know ASAP so that I can schedule time on the machines and have an opportunity to cut them. I'm going to put a deadline as to give me enough time to figure out the CAM software and get it all cut. Please talk to me as soon as you have a preliminary design done, and I need a finalized one by the last week in July. This can also be anything that you need cut personally, like I'm going to be making a new bracket for some relays in my car, so if you need anything cut let me know.
which means if i could get the darn dimensions to the ericsol caliper brackets i could have those cut too :(

I would like to put some spacers on my auto. I have OEM Solara rims on my car, but would like the track to be a little wider. My concern is wheel bearing stress. Has anyone had bearing problems running wider wheels or spacers?
Thanks guys

I don't have H&Rs, but my Ichiba 5mm spacers ( H&R and Ichiba look exactly the same in all pictures and both say they are made of the same material ) do NOT have the ring. I was about to return them when I looked at them closely and realized that it would be impossible to have a ring there. This is because the factory hub ring sticks out more than 5mm. If you were installing wheels with a larger hub bore ( eg. Nissan wheels ) then you could have a ring. ( 60.1 mm for Toyota, 66.1 mm for Nissan ) so the Toyota hub could go inside the Nissan ring diameter and still have a 3mm thick ring. You would end up with about a 5mm tall ring on a 5mm spacer.

If you want to keep your 60.1mm hub bore, ( eg. Lexus wheels ) then sorry, you can't have a ring on a 5mm spacer.

awesome - thanks for the help .... i have them drawn up in CAD, and just gotta determine the outside diameter and can get them made :)
