On my old '94 accord ex coupe, i had wheel spacers on it to accommodate the larger lug nut size (came with the car when it was handed down to me). They gave my accord a wider wheel stance and really made it look more aggressive. I've driven other accords but my accord really had great handling, with the EX factory suspension... stiffer than other models. Well the question here is, do any of you guys have the wheel spacers on there leggy? Saw the two different kinds on ebay... one with the lugs, other are just spacer plates...

how do they fit? are they reliable? how are the spacer plates fitment, will it affect my lug nut screwing it (i'm guessing it will)...

i'm looking for probably a 10-15mm addition... i tried searching for posts, but no results...

personally your wheel bearing will hate you. just prematurely wear them.. with stock wheel stud you cant got over 3mm plate spacers safely (7 turns). for 10-15mm spaces you will need longer wheel studs. i dont trust thoughs adapter plate things

I ran 5mm in the front to get my old enkei's over 4 pots. how many turns you get depends a lot on the wheel itself. I had exactly 7 turns with the 5mm + enkei's. I can barely get 5 turns out of the lugnuts with the same spacer on my 16" winter rims (some kazera thing).

I wouldn't run spacers unless I really have to. But if you're one of those hella frush fanboys...eh it's your car.
