Where to buy studded spacers?

Don Nguyen · 03-01-2009, 10:57 AM

Anyone know where I can get a spacer that's between 18-20mm with studs?

The only ones I have found seem to be 1" (25mm) or larger, for ones that comes with the studs.

thanks.

FVD.US has 15, 18, and 21. All available with studs.

Thanks for the link.

I wonder if there is a different in quality between FVD's spacers and the custom aluminum milled spacers that are on ebay for half the price.

be advised that studded spacers aka adapters, even if they don't change the bolt pattern are illegal in club racing, DEs and Autocross....

BTW, Better Bodies in San Diego carries them as well.

Keep in mind that with spacers less than about 25mm the original stud and nut will project above the wheel side mounting surface of the spacer - which means your wheels will need to have recesses between the holes on their mounting surface. Not a problems with Fuchs or CUP wheels but best to check if you are using any aftermarket rim.

Wow, didn't realize they were that big of a deal with certain race groups. I've used it on my BMW track car without problems, but I guess it really depends on the groups you're running with.

Thanks for the info. I actually thought about that and went to go check, and I saw that my cup wheels do have enough room for the studs to stick through slightly.
