Wheel spacers
I'm tired of riding hellasunk on my oem steels... I need to space the bastards out... I'm lookin for wheel spacers... I hear a lof of bad stuff about spacing out wheels w/ spacers... Anyone know of a reputable company that sells spacers for a decent price?
Platform: EK hatch on OEM 14" steelies...

Re: Wheel spacers
You want hubcentric spacers. Anything over 5mm you're going to want either extended studs of bolt on spacers. I think bolt on spacers start at 25mm. Just google 4x100 hubcentric spacers and you should find what you are looking for.
That being said I'm running 5mm slip ons (not hubcentric) due to my wheel bore being smaller than my hub bore. I have had 0 ill effects and have tracked my car on multiple occasions.

Re: Wheel spacers
Oh, I've never heard of them cracking before. I'm running ones from Pep Boys, probably the cheapest quality-wise ones out there and they are fine, no signs of stress or wear.

Re: Wheel spacers
I don't know honda sizing, but you can most likely run a 15mm and still have plenty of room between fender and wheel. What is the offset of the steelies?
