MTM spacers. Where to Buy?
#3
Re: just get the H+R ones, they're basically the same.
I've got the H&R ones and tried both 5 and 10 mm. Both give me vibration between 55-65 mph. I've tried rebalancing the tires to no avail. I just put new tires on and still have teh vibration. I figured i'd try the MTM as a last resort before I remove them for good. Any otehr suggestions?

Questions for Bob
What size tire are you running on your RS10's and what's your width and back spacing, similar to stock? I'm running 275 RE-01R on stockers and was wondering how much spacer width I could get away with w/o rubbing issues. From what I remember that was your previous setup.
Thanks!!!

5mm aren't hubcentric, so you can get rid of those.
10mm should have a hubcentric lip, and shouldn't wobble if properly installed (and assuming the spacer hub isn't bent or somehow defective). I have 20mm H+R on my car now, and there is no vibration whatsoever.
Some issues to consider during installation:
-the hub surface should be as clean as possible before installing the spacers. If there is dirt, rust, corrosion, etc., clean it with a wire brush. The spacer must sit completely flat on the hub. Similarly, the inner *wheel* hub should be checked and cleaned, if necessary.
-the shape of the spacer hub and the inner wheel hub must be the same. This is only an issue if you have aftermarket wheels. The beveling on some aftermarket wheel hubs won't match up with the H+R spacers, and therefore either the wheels have to be machined or some sort of adapter must be used.
-use the correct length bolts. Most places that sell spacers, like ECS, will know which bolts you need.
-after installing the spacers and mounting the wheels, torque the wheel bolts while the car is still up in the air. Be very careful when doing this.
I've had various spacers (8mm, 20mm, 25mm and even 30mm) on various vehicles, and have never had vibration problems.

I'm running the stock tire size on the RS10s
I've never had the RE01R tires, so I don't know if I can answer your question. I think those tires would be too wide for the RS10, which is a 8.5" wide wheel.
If you have rubbing issues on the fender side, usually just removing that protruding screw from the top center of the fender liner solves it...and that screw doesn't really do anything.
