Best company for wheel spacers??? Please help!

Hello VSC, I am in the market looking to buy 10mm spacers for my GS300. There too many company's out there to choose from, I was just wondering who would have the best in over all quality and proper fitting. I have researched just a little where I read that some spacers vibrate at certain speed and what not. Please help if you can thanks.

at 10mm i assume you're talking about slip ons. every cnc'ed billet spacer is going to be pretty much the same. the only differences will be if they are hub (most quality options) and wheel (custom unless same as oem centerbore) centric.

the rest of the equation is quality of extended studs.

i can't justify kics because you have to buy an addtional hub ring (not available in 10mm iirc) after paying an already high price. ichiba is questionable on stud strenth so i would play it safe. i've never had, or heard of, any bad experiences with h&r or eibach.

another option is to get custom made spacers and seperate lugs (i.e. nismo, arp, etc. depending on application). this option gives you perfect one off specs (width to the mm, hub and wheel centric) and ensures quality hardware.

the powered by max spacer system mentioned is pretty dope and i wouldn't be scared to be the guniea pig quality wise based on their reputation, however i think the idea is questionable on widths under 15mm (w/o the base bolt on spacer).

save the money. 10mm is not justifiable unless you have longer studs. Heavy car, heavy wheels.. being safer is smarter than buying. If you need them to clear bigger brakes then you can afford the longer studs. if you are doing it to make it more "flush" get your wheels re-sized lol.

Thanks for all the advise and help. I currently run 5mm right now and they are not hub centric, they vibrate around 70 mph. I'm assuming it's because of the cheap spacers i'm running. I do want the bolt on style. Will 10 mm do any justice on my 19x9+24(f), 19x10+24(r)? I'm now thinking of 15+ now since most of the companies like FTL, H&R, PK's and Ichiba only offers the bolt on style. I know Ichiba offer there spacers with the hub centric , I would like to purchase something with hub centric style or after market that can clear my wheels to help prevent any vibration. I know can get custom spacers but it sound's expensive. Does anyone know where I can get some h&r's for a good price? and having hub centric important?

hub centric is debatable, but better safe than sorry i say. pretty mush all the top brands have hubcentric apps.

you have to have wheels with deep pockets between the lugs for 10mm bolt ons (same with 15mm).

don't guess what size you need... measure.

i seem to find the best prices for h&r on ebay.
