DYI01 said 5 x 4.5 - 5 spacers will fit our lug pattern, but I was wondering if the difference in stud size and/or hub size would have a negative effect. Would something like the spacers in the link below work, or do I need to shell out $150-200 for 5x100 spacers with 54.1 centers?

Blue, these type of spacers will still make your car shake at high speeds. You need to get H R hubcebntric spacers. I guarantee you that you will not regret the extra buck you shell out for them.

When I was first looking for spacers, I used something like the ones on the above link, at around 45 miles, my wheels would already vibrate. I was told that only quality spacers could prevent this. So when I finally ordered the HR spacers from online, there was no more vibrating whatsoever.

5 x 4.5-5 spacers dont fit our car which is 5 x 100. 5 x 4.5 is basically 5 x 114.3 size. The 5 x 100 spacers I showed you fit very snugly onto our bolt circle. I will be putting these on as soon as I get my new studs and put them in.

5 x 4.5-5 spacers dont fit our car which is 5 x 100.Why did you link to two eBay auctions for them in the other thread? :confused:

Did I? I guess I did it without really realizing it then. It was a real quick search on eBay :crazy2:

definitely don't get those blue. I had those for a little bit, and the shake was noticable, not to mention my shop said those aren't the safest because they don't sit exact. It is definitely worth it to get the H&R spacers. I am happy with mine. Just be prepared to pay to get your hubs pressed.

they have hubcentric spacers and seem decently priced.
