DriftGirl · 08-21-2004, 06:45 PM

Battle Club in Jp makes them in 10mm thickness BTW

wootwoot · 08-21-2004, 08:03 PM

DRFT · 08-22-2004, 01:38 AM

are these durable for hard driving at all?

holisticbeatz · 08-22-2004, 01:40 AM

The shop where I got my spacers told me that they have people do that to go 5 to 6 lug on their trucks too. But still...a bolt on a bolt on a bolt. Don't feel too good about it. At the price they were charging for it too, I could just swap to 5 lug using oem parts.

sideviewcivic · 08-22-2004, 02:38 AM

as long as the bore is hub centric(like the billet ones i run) it shud be fine making sure torqued to spec. would anyone be able to get the battle club spacers. wud be a nice alternative to attain or gto hub changeover

NotDave · 08-22-2004, 03:58 AM

actually someone needs to make a copy of the gto/attain hub changeover. i bet anybody at a machine shop could copy it and sell them at a fraction of what it costs. but it still needs to be cheaper than ~300 since thats what conversions are going for these days

sideviewcivic · 08-22-2004, 01:07 PM

custom spacers i can get for 100/pair. i only run billet, had a friend that ran cast alum. spacers, one warped on him and caused extreme failure to the hub,bearing,rotor, and caliper.

DriftGirl · 08-22-2004, 05:08 PM

I have (3Cars) an Attain front and rear/with bearings set-up, A GTO Front / rear and these Battle Club (GTO & Battle Club are the same peeps) adaptors. Im working on an article talking about each product / style.

Kit Includes: 4 spacers, 16 plate bolts, 4 long bolts, 12 short bolts, 12 flower nuts(with a tightening tool), and installation instruction (in Japanese) with pictures. Silver, black,Red,Gold colors available by them
Retail Price: $600 for a set of 4 with all hardware from GTO/BATTLE CLUB

Should be No different than spacers...Torqued to spec and you'll be good 2 go (And JDM tyte yo!!!

)

Below are pix of mine

The ROMAN · 08-22-2004, 06:33 PM

I've got adjustable touge factory wheel spacers on my car. They're alot thinner then those though and they're 4-lug to 4-lug. I actually swear by em cause my stock hubs were screwed up, studs kept spinning even though I replaced them. Since the studs in these spacers fit in a hex pattern, instead of just being pressed in like regular studs, they can't spin. Plus the studs are longer and make my wheels nice and flush.

DriftGirl · 08-22-2004, 06:53 PM

4x114.3 to 4x100? Those are PIMP too....more wheel choices

DRFT · 08-22-2004, 07:06 PM

more wheels choises? you mean civic wheels? such as high offset wheels....

DriftGirl · 08-22-2004, 07:24 PM

More then he had before= more wheel choices

Salty_X · 08-22-2004, 08:00 PM

Touge Factory wheel spacers were 4x114.3 to 4x114.3...

DriftGirl · 08-22-2004, 09:40 PM

Touge Factory...I dont think ive shopped there before.

I thought he may have been talking about these type: http://www.projectnissan.com/Product...&idproduct=843

The ROMAN · 08-27-2004, 02:45 PM

Yeah they're the same pattern, I got em with the wheels I bought. I like them cause I change wheels alot and I don't have to deal with my hub problems as long as I keep the spacers on all the time.

andrave · 08-27-2004, 09:02 PM

4x114.3 to 4x100 wheel spacers would seem to me to be near ideal for someone that wants a lot of wheel choices (drifters, posers, burnouts, whatever).
you could buy wheels like some flik's off wheelmax in a 40offset 4x100, lightweight, and the spacer would push them out a bit.
