I'm currently rolling on GSR Blades and I'm thinking of getting some spacers to push them out a bit since they sit inside the fender and not flush with it.

My question is... does anyone know what size spacers I'll need? I was thinking of getting a set of 8mm spacers but is that enough?
Also... where can I get wheel insert spacers? I've searched around and I'm finding spacers that cost over $100!! eBay sells them for 12 bux a pair.

Thanks

Not a lot of people will recommend using spacers behind rims, attributing all sorts of stability and steering problems to them. I personally have experience driving only ONE car with spacers (a 1.6EL) and it drove fine at all speeds I drove it at. I guess it can't hurt to try. But considering the function of these things I wouldn't go generic. H&R perhaps?

I've been reading some stuff on Honda-Tech.com and a bunch of guys are using wheel spacers on their cars and some are even AutoX'n with them and said to have had no problems.

I won't be running my car hard... I rarely even highway drive. I just want to move my wheels out a little more because they're sitting inside a fair bit.
As for the H&R Spacers... I'd love to get these but they're way to much money for just asthetics. They go for $65 a pair US in 5mm applications and end up over the $100 dollar mark the wider I go.

But anywhooo... does anybody know how wide of a spacer I should get? Or even what the GSR blades offset are?

Go to Jims Speed shop in London R1Style, that's where i got mine for my QT alloys...actually, talk to Falcon, he doesn't use them but probably still has his spacers.

How much did you pay for your spacers and what size where they?
