Installed TMS 12.5mm spacers! Before & After PICS!

lancer101 · 02-19-2010, 04:47 PM

So i bought TMS 12.5mm spacers because of the quality and mostly because they were a dark bronze color. I was going to go with the Rogue spacer but had second thoughts due to that they only come in polish alumunim, & didnt want it to stickout for being so shiney. So here is the install pictures before and after. ***Oh and my rear tires/wheels are 19x8.5 ET 35 offset (235/35/19 tire) m6 rep wheels all around*** Should have had them staggered

WELL LETS GET TO IT....

MY WHEEL BEFORE THE SPACER

HERE IS THE SPACERS IN A "DARK BRONZE" COLOR WHICH HAD CHAMFERED SPACES FOR WHEN YOU WANT TO TAKE THEM OFF EASILY

ONCE I GOT THE WHEEL OFF. *MAKE SURE TO CLEAN THE HUB AND INSIDE THE WHEEL FROM RUST OR ETC... COULD CAUSE A BAD FIT IF YOU DONT. I USED A WIRE WHEEL*

AFTER CLEANING AND A LITTLE BIT OF PLAYING WITH THE WHEEL AND EXTENDED BOLTS...ALLLLL FINISHED!!! TOOK MAYBE 45MINS.

& THE OTHER SIDE

MY FINAL THOUGHTS IS THAT I BELIEVE I MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE

I WAS GOING TO GO WITH A 15MM SPACER BUT I SOON WANT TO LOWER MY CAR AND SO I THOUGHT I WOULD PLAY IT SAFE. AS YOU CAN TELL IT ISNT PERFECTLY FLUSH BUT PRETTY CLOSE...CHEERZ

Question: Do they hinder driving performance?

From what I hear, it pushes the stance out a little bit for better handling.

Loks good man

+1 i heard it will give better handling... but i just merely wanted that ugly sinking look gone from my rear wheels.

What was the total cost? Where did you order from? Considering it on my car if I keep my car.

Turnermotorsport.com - They offer many sizes. Total was $120 i believe with extended bolts which is a must. I bought their patented brand, they also sell H&R spacers to.

Very nice, you got me considering this one

allin · 02-21-2010, 03:36 PM

Hey thanks for the info on cost of kit. For $120 and DIY, I may do the same. Thanks again.

are they 12.5? most companies sell 12mm... i might go this route since as you mentioned 15mm is just to big.

bavarian19 · 02-21-2010, 03:49 PM

That extra 0.5 mm makes all the difference

It looks great!

Right i thought the same thing that they only came in 12mm... but just be sure to measure the gap from your tire to the inner top of your fendor to determine which spacer is right for you because i had a uncommon wheel and tire size in the rear.

Heres the link at TMS
