Wheel Spacers: 5mm-7mm

I'm looking for some quality made 5mm-7mm wheel spacers for a 2006 F430. I've tried the quality providers such as HRE, H&R and Hills Engineering but haven't been successful in locating some.

Any recommendations for quality made spacers in this size range would be appreciated!

Mine came with 10mm H&R's and they seem fine - what do you find wrong with them?

 

Actually, I'm looking for some in the 5mm -7mm thickness but H&R, HRE and Hills do not have them. If they did, I would buy them. I have aftermarket wheels and given their width and offsets, a 10mm spacer would make my front wheels extend out too far...

Cheers,

Try the ebay.de?

Thanks for the recommendation. I found Akata spacers but may not proceed due to concerns that the thin profile may not be stable. I'll have to do more research...

The difference between a 10 mm spacer and a 7 mm spacer is 3 mm or 0.12" ~1/8"). You cannot even see that on a wheel.

 

+1
Right on Taz. I was thinking the same thing

 

I have 15mm spacers on my 360 and they look and perform great! 7mm is honestly nothing and you wouldn't be able to notice them with the naked eye I would argue!

 

Thanks everyone for the input.

I understand that the difference in thickness is nominal, at best. However, I am using aftermarket wheels with offsets that were designed to almost maximize the alignment profile of the front wheels to the fender. I will re-measure the offset gap to determine whether a 10mm spacer is feasible...

Contact Lenny, he mills custom spacers any thickness. He's made sets for my Porsche and Maserati:

Great...good information and contact. I will give Len a call to discuss...

We produce hub centric wheel spacers in 10-15 and 20mm thicknesses. Anything below 10mm will more than likely be a non hub centric spacer. A 7mm spacer may be the max while maintaining a hub centric fit for safety. I would need to recheck the hub extension on the Ferrari series to verify.

Our spacers are produced in T6 7075 aluminum alloy where most others are 6068 or lower grades of aluminum. We also offer Titanium wheel bolts in the Challenge style to complete the look and will work one on one with members for custom applications. The spacers are not on the site as of yet but we do have them in stock.

Even with 7 mm spacers, you would want longer wheel bolts. Personally, I would be unwilling to give up 7 mm of fastener length and strength with original wheel bolts.

Autowerks has a really good price on titanium bolts that look just like the factory ones with the 17 mm allen head.

 

I have hill engineering 20mm rear spacer and 15mm front spacer, works great and looks fantastic. Using longer hills bolts

 

can u post some pics ?

 

Sure can!

looks right on perfect

 

love the look of the racing seats

 

Old Thread I know. Does anyone think you would need longer bolts using 5mm spacer

 

I would.

 

NEVER install spacers with same bolts... always compensate length. It only needs to happen once.

 

Where would you get them only 5mm longer because I been searching with no success. Seems most are much longer.

 

Cannot believe a 5 mm spacer is even worth the effort. That is less than one fifth of an inch.
