Hi Guys,

I’m looking to add spacers to my civic, I’m planning on lowering it on spoon or H&R also, so I don’t want anything too aggressive.
Thus was thinking 15mm spacer, the wheels have pockets on the rear, although they are not deep, will I have to cut the original studs so the wheel will sit on the spacer studs without fouling the originals.
Thanks in advance.

You can still lower with the garage line as well it just depends how low you are wanting to go? I would contact garage line and see whatever kit you decide on has been used with the garage lines from their end. I’m sure they have the info you’d need to proceed before purchasing spacers.

on 17mm h&r love the look

Mike, did you have to trim your wheel
Studs to facilitate the 17mm spacers?

thanks

That's the beauty of something like Garage Line that specifically make them for your exact car and trim/model. Everything is a perfect fit.

I appreciate you’re in love with garage line. However you’re not understanding the question. If I fit 30mm spacers of any brand I’ll not have to cut the studs. But I’m not wanting 30mm. From what I’ve read if I lower with anything more than 15-17mm spacers the wheels will rub. Hence 15mm spacers.

That’s why I recommend contacting garage line, what trim do you have as they offer more than just 30MM options for other trims and I could lower on the 30MM, as I said how much are you wanting to drop the car? I have plenty of space for a drop but I don’t want to compromise ride quality.

Garage Line A+ - Rides impeccable, stance perfect. Buy now! Now the flares look like they deserve to be there.

Do you have to order 2 sets or do they come with all 4 spacers.

I had 10mm on before the garage line and they fit fine, however anything non hub centric will have to be hand centered and if not done to near perfection you will have a wobble or vibration at some point in the speed band. Even one wheel off and it will be there and can be hard to eliminate. Just keep that in mind.

It rides better and handles better. I was quite impressed with the aggressive spacers and how much change in a 3” stance makes.

Thanks for the help I bought and installed them, and they feel great fitment looks good and I’m on 245/35 all season.
