Default Does anyone make 15mm Spacer?

H & R doesn't make the studded type spacer in sizes under 21mm. I talked to Ralph T. Booth and he is out and says he can't make them cheap enough to be competetive. He is going to look into making me some and get back to me. But no one else seems to have them either. Can anyone help me out here?

I just got H&R 15mm DRS spacers. DRS is the designation for spacers without studs installed. So, mounting requires replacing the original studs with new, longer ones. H&R spacers that bolts on to the existing hub are the DRM designation, but they start at 21mm.

Can you get 10 or 12mm spacers with studs fitted to them?

H & R apparently only makes studded in 21+mm now. I heard it was because studs were pulling out of the thinner ones. Don't know if this is true.

Well I hope not. I guess it is time to look closely at mine.

A quick word of warning, with the thinner studded spacers, theres not enough meet in the spacer to handle really heavy loads... you can actually bend the spacer. I had a set of H&R 15MM on a street/DE application & running type R rubber. Developed a shudder, thought it was a warped disk, mounted up another set of tires/wheels, still shudder, pulled the spacers shudder gone. I put it on the inspection table and it was out of plumb. I think this is why they quit making the thinner setup. For street you're ok, but for the track or with really big 18's I'd think real seriously about going with the extended studs...

That makes alot of sense. I'm having mixed thoughts about the 15mm H&R's. They come with longer studs, but the installation requires breaking down the hub and replacing the bearings once they're pulled. The 21mm H&Rs come with mounted studs and appear to have enough meat to handle the offset.

I heard there wasn't enough meat for the stud. May be just a warpage issue. No shimmy no problem I guess.

you can remove and pull new studs on the rear hubs without removing them from the car....
