Thumbs up Wheel Spacers

Anyone know of a place in the Auburn area which sells high quality wheel spacers? Just received my RPF1s in and I'm in need of a 2 or 3mm spacer to clear the front brakes. Need these ASAP for the autox this weekend. I've already heard Intec and Illtech may have them in, but they're not open yet and I'd like to get as many places on my list to call as I can. Also, if anyone has a set they'd be willing to sell then hit me up as well.

Thanks,
James

Quick question, anything below 25mm is gonna require modifying your stock studs right? Like cutting them?

Anything below 20mm should be okay on stock stud but anything higher than that you should replace it to a ARP or any equivalent longer stud.

if you had 20mm spacers on the rear you would rub pretty bad with OEM rims (from my understanding on the subject).

Seems like the max you can run on OEM and without fender modification (as your short on time) is 20mm up front, 15mm out back.

20mm spacers are WAY too much for stock studs especially if tracked...thats losing almost an inch of threads. If you go that big go with bolt on ones...alleviates the need for longer studs.

he planned on bolt on spacers but with what were working out the tires would rub on the fender wells
the 22 offset would have been perfect for that wheel but were figuring it out now and working on everything

Evergreen Tire on South Tacoma way has them in stock. I had to get some a few years ago when I was living there.

as does intec racing in kent
IMO spacers suck, they put a ton of stress on the hub. the bolt on spacers are ok they act as if wheels were on there with a higher offset
get the right offset and dont worry about spacers period. The rpf 1's have a different face that doesnt give depth on the wheel hence the face hitting the stock calipers
