All the ones I know off run 15F \ 25R .... think you might run into arch rubbing \ rebound issues if you push the fronts that wide Scott ...

I thought I had read that somewhere on prime. SOS appear to sell sets of four so I would have to buy two sets which I am trying to avoid. Still hoping a UK supplier is suggested.

I may have a set coming form the States, but if not would you mind asking if they would do a deal for 2 sets of 15F \ 25R

Thanx

Of course. I have e mailed them so lets see what they say

[lotusolly]

I bought mine from Demon Tweeks. Price was as good as any where else I could find. Offset bolts are fitted on the 25mm spacers but you need to fit extended studs for the front.

They are the H&R ones.

It was probably about 2 years ago now. They had to order them in but only took about a week to get them.

Can you remember what you paid olly?

[Senninha]

Hi Scott,

I'm in for these as the ones from the US came with a $240 shipping tag so I've passed on them!

Let me know how you get on please

regards, Paul

PS, I'll try and move the spacer debate to another thread shortly ...

[scottg]

Will do Paul but not had allot of luck so far.

[lotusolly]

Can you remember what you paid olly?

I have dug out the receipt and was almost exactly 2 years ago!

Fronts, part no EIBES90-4-15-010 £79.61 + VAT

Rears, Part no EIBES90-4-25-011 £84.52 + VAT

Hope that helps.

I did buy my KW3 suspension at the same time and I think they may have given me a bit of discount from list.

[Senninha]

Steve (Ollie) and Gary (Hagasan) are both running spacers and fitted within past 12 months (ish) ... maybe they can chip in with where they were sourced from?

[Senninha]

Scott,

Steve put me in touch with these guys this morning http://www.dcperformance.co.uk/uprated/h_r-trak%5E-wheel-spacers/honda/nsx.html

I spoke to them and they a) have them in stock and b) are looking to see if they can offer GB benefits \ volume requirements. I'll update when they get back to me.

[gcon45]

Are DRM and DRS optional or specific to certain models?

Is the facelift bore 64mm or 70mm?

Would I get away with 25mm front and rear on my facelift?

[Sudesh]

Scott, Member "Shane" that's based here in Ireland, has spacers on his NSX, I could be wrong but, I thought he sourced them locally or in the UK. Maye drop him a PM to see?

[Senninha]

Just spotted a possible problem with your quote.

The bore for the rears should be 64mm!

70mm bore are easy to get hold of but the 64mm ones for the rears are normally not stocked and you have to order in. Not sure I would want to be running spacers without the right size centers!

Maybe a typo but the rears are a 64.1mm centre bore so make sure you get the correct ones. If they can only supply 70.1mm rear then you could use appropriate sized "spigot rings" to convert i.e. fill the void.

I did think about this after the post Olly so thanx for reminding me.

Question 1 would be is this the same for 3.0 and 3.2 as that was my enquiry with DCP.

Question 2, hubcentric rings? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SPIGOT-RINGS-4-x-70-1-64-1-set-of-4-70-1-64-1-/181152720661?pt=UK_Cars_Parts_Vehicles_Wheels_tyre _Trims_Trims_ET&hash=item2a2d8b2715#ht_758wt_1399

The Spigot Rings are made from Polycarbonate (PC) Plastics
Polycarbonate plastics are among the strongest, toughest, and most rigid thermoplastics.
They are resistant to a variety of chemicals.
The creep resistance of these plastic materials is among the best for thermoplastics.
Polycarbonate maximum continuous working temperature 140° Celsius.


Is 140 degree Celsius high enough for the hub/brakes/wheel on our car?

or these ones?

its possible to buy metal ones but they may be subject to reacting to either the hub or spacer making removal difficult in the future?

[NSXGB]

I believe the H&R spacers are hub centric, so you wouldn't need the hub centric rings as well, that's why the bore size is stated when you purchase the H&R spacers?

[Senninha]

Problem solved :) 64's

http://www.dcperformance.co.uk/cheap/777479/honda/h_r-trak^-wheel-spacers/5065640.html

[britlude]

dc list 64s on their site.... (3 at 70mm, 3 at 64mm) http://www.dcperformance.co.uk/uprated/h_r-trak%5E-wheel-spacers/honda/nsx.html

(as Paul has just put....!)

a quick observation to shoot down the spigot ring ideas... the whole point of a hubcentric spacer, and why they cost a bit more is that on the back they have a recess and the front an upstand, so that the wheel locates as per normal on it's little ledge.

so a 25mm thick spacer with a 70mm bore will have a 70mm diameter recess cut out on the back side, and a corresponding 70mm spigot sticking out on the front side.

so, yes it'll fit on the 64mm hub with a ring to take up the gap, but the wheel won't fit as the corresponding 64mm recess in the wheel wont fit over a 70mm location!

hope that helps.

you may continue....

Anyone other than Scott & Me interested?

Hi,

i just read this thread and i would be interest in 25mm spacers for the rear,
preferably H&R.

I already have the fronts (bought them used).

Is there a rub issue with 25mm on the front with my 02+ rims??

Thanks,
Nuno

[Senninha]

All,

I'm speaking to H&R and wish to be very clear with all about what I am asking for.

The GB is for a set of 4 hub-centric spacers meaning that these will be purchased as a front pair with 70mm centre and a rear pair with 64mm centre. This is the OEM dimensions for all NSX without modified hubs and using OEM alloy wheels.

If you are running with non OEM alloy wheels you are likely to be using additional rings to centre your wheels. You will need to re-use or replace these as an additional item to safely locate your alloys on the spacers.

If this does not meet your requirements please advise. I am looking to place the order next week so would be looking for payments this week please. I will repost with firm pricing once confirmed with H&R.

Hi Nuno,

All advice I have received is to run maximum 15mm to the fronts and to then run 25mm for the rears to maintain the stagger and avoid rubbing issues. Ultimately it is your choice and if you wish to have 25mm front these can be ordered for you.

regards, Paul

[UnhuZ]

Hi,

thanks for the advice... as i said, i already have the fronts here.... so i'll give them a try....carefully,
and if i see it's too much, i'll swap them for 15mm ones.

but i need the 25mm rears anyways, so count me in.

Let me know the cost and the PP address so i can send the money (and a Royal mail shipping quote to Lisbon 1800, Portugal)

[Senninha]

OK Guys,

Good News!

I'm pleased to be able to advise that I've agreed with DC that you can ring direct to place your orders against this GB. I'll PM details to each on the list.

I may also have an improvement in price for us if all are committed orders including the rears for Nuno.

Will update once I have confirmation.

my rears are more than confirmed :D

and about the phone call...can i do it by email, or can you do it for me and i'll paypal you
the money (if it's not asking too much)

Thanks,

[Kaz-kzukNA1]

Just a quick note for the RHD owners considering the thick spacers at the front or using aftermarket front wheels especially with big offset compared to the OEM spec.

From front wing/fender panel point of view, the front left hub geometry is sticking more towards the outside than the front right one.
This is from the factory and nothing wrong with it from the frame point of view.

With OEM wheels without the spacer, you won’t notice this unless you really look for the difference.

However, if you add thick spacer or use aftermarket wheels with different offset, you will see that your front left wheel is sticking out further than the front right side.

I don’t have enough experience with the LHD models so don’t know whether this is the same or not.
May be Nuno can confirm this after the installation??


Kaz

[UnhuZ]

Hi,



May be Nuno can confirm this after the installation??
Kaz

wow... never noticed that, but again, i never looked for it... i will measure today as it is (with 02+ wheels) and then after
i install the spacers.

I received my spacers on Friday but not yet had the time to fit them. Has anyone pressed the studs out of the front to put the longer ones in that can advise on best method, I assume you remove the calliper and then the disc with the hub so you can work on the bench? Rears just an easy bolt on so I can manage that one.

Good call :)

i received the package on Friday and managed to fit the rears. But didn't attempt to do the front yet too :)

[Hagasan]

It's a few years since I did mine but yes, get your hub on the bench/vice. You just need to tap out the shorter studs and do the same tapping in the longer ones. If I remember correctly there is a certain position of rotation where you have a clear path for removing/inserting the studs without them interfering/fouling the hub body....It's fairly straight-forward to do....good luck

My rears are fitted by the MOT guys yesterday and they said they took a front hub off but the new studs are too long to put in unless you split the hub in half and that may effect the bearing? Any advice appreciated. Rears look much better though

Any advice appreciated. Rears look much better though Hi Scott, I can assure you that there is no need to separate the hub body/bearing. If you get your guy to rotate the stud "flange" there will be a position where there is a slightly flatter hub body to flange alignment where you can insert the longer stud in. It will need to be tapped in gently at a very slight angle but it's not an issue where any misalignment or damage will occur. Just get you guy to take a closer look at it off the car...

Thanks I think I'll have a go myself. I think the garage were just more concerned with damaging something. When the owner bought my car back he pointed out a small split on the leather bolster and said if that was me ill sort it out of r you. I reassure him it was there all along the the relief was evident. He's my neighbour and a good guy how many garages would have done that?

[flyingsniffer]

I tried the fronts today and confirm that I could not insert the longer studs with the hub in place. The head of the stud is just slightly too big to get past the hub body.

I can see where it might have been possible but no amount of jigging and poking resulted in any difference.

A pity, but the hub will have to be separated.

[flyingsniffer]

Unless.......Gary, can you recall if the disc had to be removed? I'm wondering if removing it might just give that tiny bit more lateral flex to jiggle it out. It really is a 'gnat's ****' job.

Disc is on solid, will probably need an impact driver to remove. Any issues with doing this that anyone can envisage? They aren't my favourite tool but much better than a rounded screw head.

[Senninha]

A small drop of penetrating oil overnight, impact driver and off they come ... no issues ... would be good to know if this can be completed on the car ... Thanx

Quick Q --- has everyone received their spacers that ordered?

regards, Paul

[Hagasan]

Yes the disc was removed. But I took the whole assembly off the car. I didn't expose any bearing though. I'd have to look at the parts diagrams to remind myself of all the components. I wasn't a difficult task though for anyone handy enough with some spanners. And yes, I did used and impact drivers to break the screw thread corrosion/locking on. Much better than a mashed head...

Disc is on solid, will probably need an impact driver to remove. Any issues with doing this that anyone can envisage? They aren't my favourite tool but much better than a rounded screw head.

A small drop of penetrating oil overnight, impact driver and off they come ... no issues ... would be good to know if this can be completed on the car ... Thanx

Quick Q --- has everyone received their spacers that ordered?

regards, Paul

Hi ,

Only just had mine fitted whilst the car was away . The fronts look fine but the rears are really sticking out - carlos fandango eat ya heart out !!

At first I thought I had ordered the wrong size as I could clearly see the rear spacers were a lot wider than the fronts.

Then I checked this thread and confirmed the 15mm F & 25mm R , so it must be down to my after market alloys.

I think I will have to change the rears to 15mm , I'm hoping the offset will all be ok as the rear wheels / tyres are
already wider than the fronts .

Its running 215 /40 / 17 AD08's tyres on the front and 255 / 35 / 18 AD08's tyres on the rear .

I'm unsure of the size of the alloys they were purchased from Gary off our forums .

Will it be ok to reduce the rear spacers from 25 mm per side down to 15 mm per side as per the fronts .

I don't really have any other choice , apart from changing the wheels to a standard 7 spoke 16" F 17" R and keeping the 25mm rear spacers .

I still have the original 91 alloys 15 / 16 but really don't want to have to put those back on .

Thoughts ?

thanks Mark

Hi Mark,

those WORK wheels were designed with offsets to push the wheels slightly further out than OEM wheels without having to use spacers. The spacers people have been buying on the thread (like the one I have as well) are mostly being used to step out OEM wheels a little. I'm not sure of the offset for the Work wheels anymore but it should be stamped on the inside, the ET number. Compare that to the ET number on an OEM wheel, say a facelift wheel. If the difference between those numbers is 10 then yes you'd probably want to come down to 15mm spacers on the rear to get a comparable stance to what other have.. The 15mm ones are slip over though not bolt on like the 25mm. You'd therefore need to fit longer studs... You'll probably find a bit more information on nsxprime along with pictures possibly?

Cheers,

Gary

Thanks Gary , It now makes sense and I think as you suggested if I go down to 15 mm on the back it will look ok .

I'll have to look into what will be involved in swapping the 25 mm rears to a 15 mm , shame they are not a simple bolt on item though .

Are these any good , by the looks of it you can simply bolt them on the same as the 25m H&R rears which will save having to fit longer studs as per the fronts .
