I know Ollie (Steve) is running them and I think Hagasan (Gary) may also have them now for OEM 17's.

If you find out where I'll probably have a set too please.

Most probably in 17/18 combo to open up tyre choice at the same time

I personally like the RP03's, clean 5 spoke design

I know Steve(Ollie) has thr H&R spacers and I think Gary has the same also.
I have ordered my set from Demon Tweeks 15mm front, 25mm rear.

They have been sat in my hall for a couple of weeks and hopefully should get to fit them on the car tomorrow!

Hi Olly,

Have you got part numbers and costs please?

[Silver Surfer]

I feel the need for a 'group buy' for these spacers. :)

Can anybody who has these spacers post up where they got them from and PM me the price.:D

Motorsportworld list the NSX spacers. Looks like £47 for the 10mm. Can't get on their site from here at work though as it's blocked as 'malicious'. :dunno:
In my experience MSW are usually better priced than Demon Tweeks so could be worth a look.

Front are part no. H/R5065640 and were £79.61
Rear are part no. H/R5065640 and were £84.52
plus the dreaded VAT!

I ordered some other bits that they did a good deal on for me and just got these at the same time for convenience so you will probably find a better price elsewhere if you want to search.

Not sure if thats a H&R part number or Demon Tweeks.

[NSXGB]

They are H&R part numbers. You've listed the same number for front and rear (H/R 5065640 is the 25mm spacer). Do you have the number for the front?
MSW list that part for £110.75 inc vat. so not as competitive.

Cheers Steve.

Did you also get longer studs for the front?

Sorry been a stressful day!!!

That was the correct part no for the rear.
Part no for the front is H/R3065700

The rear bolt straight on with new studs mounted in a offset position within the spacer.
The front come with longer studs that you have to fit in place of the originals which is not as simple a job.

So is the experienced thnking to go 15mm front and 25mm rears?

Is this for any particular reason other then cosmetic?

Kare, if you can get decent deal for two sets then I'll jump on board.

A word of caution...

I believe that to fit the 15mm ones (front or rear) you would need to replace the existing wheel studs with shorter ones. This is because the standard studs protrude through the spacer and prevent the wheel hub from seating flat against the spacer. The 25mm spacers are wide/thick enough so that the standard studs do not protrude. IMHO 25mm is too much for the front.

The above is not a problem if you don't have spare wheels, say for track days, but would be a pain if you do as the replacement studs would be too short to mount a wider standard wheel. This is certainly applicable to you Paul.

Thats the trouble with spacers when you have wheel studs. My only previous use of spacers was with my Smart roadster, fortunately that just required slightly longer bolts.

It's actually the other way around Mark. You need to fit longer studs to compensate for the 15mm of thread lost to the wheel nut once fitted. To those doing this, you will need to remove your front caliper & disc to get to the hub assembly. You will need to remove the hub unit to knock out, literally, the original studs and pop in the new ones. It's not difficult but will take a little time....

The rears are bolt ons

Cheers,

Gary

[markc]

Ahh, sorry I assumed that the 15mm spacers were also bolt on ones. Of course you're correct non bolt on spacers would need longer wheels studs.

I guess you could still revert to no spacers without the hassle of having to change the wheels studs again but you'd probably need to use open ended wheels nuts?
