    Wheel Spacers?

    Anyone have good things or bad things to say about wheel spacers (5mm or 10 mm) actually installed on their car past or present?

    15mm Project Kics spacers on my Z with no issues. I chose Kics because the extended studs are attatched to the actual spacer piece.

    I'm sure it'd work on an EP with extended studs, but I'm certainly not advocating your trying it.

    I'm already just about flush with my non-rolled rears.. a -15 would make them body flush (and sexy haha)

    I was thinking about the 5 or 10 mm ones from H&R myself. I believe they come with extended studs attached to the spacer too.
    I was worried about the back fender rubbing on the rear tire though like my old 94 civic used to. Looks like that might happen with 10 mm + spacers

    Not to sound noobish or anything but I truly don't know. What are these spacers actually for, what do they do?

    They space the wheel farther from the hub.

    Aesthetic. I'm running 10" wheels (350Z) at each corner but wanted the rears to appear staggered.

    Some wheels are made in offsets that don't work properly for the car, so people use spacers to adapt accordingly.
