Probably because they said 'Grade 8' and were cheap.

Lulz. There's nothing wrong with slip-on spacers. Wheel fitment will never die.

I am suprised on setups with larger spacers, these cars are not putting alot of added stress on the wheel bearings. Its pretty common when you get into spacing wheels heavily.

Although I dont know how much you guys really put in for spacers. I would imagine anything more than about 15mm this would start to be an issue to consider.

Ok my search brought up numerous different lengths. 3.25,2.85,2.5 were the mains.

So not trying to be a dick or "kick a dead horse". But the studs sticking out that far isnt needed. Like i said its just personal opinion.

But hey whatever im done.

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you.
Hope this helps

if they are hubcentric then they are not the slip on spacers i was talking about. Use your head man, i guess i should have stated: I dont care for slip on spacers at all,but if your gonna use them at least make sure they are hubcentric. Dont be an idiot.

I have seen certain people going as far to use slip on wheel spacers, and a stack of washers on each stud just to get that "herra frush" look. pretty smart eh? Thats the exact reason i dont care for this fad. Who knows what some retarded kids are seeing other people doing and trying to copy on the cheap?

honestly, why are you getting upset about what other people do to they're car? Justrob said it, Wheel fitment will never die. Copying things on the cheap is the Honda Community get used to it.
