IS nothing wrong to use spacer only with Good premium or branded quality .

as for thickness i have read the brochure their max 30mm( tested)

as for after market (locally fabricated) will depending on the person design and machine shop .

Thin spacer does not meant 100% SAFE. if the fitting is wrong also dangerous to run.

 

the problem is not with the spacer alone . another issue is hub bolts .

[Kungfu]

[Thedream]

many tyre shops and even car workshops should have.

 

anyway, you're already on 4mm and you want to change to 3mm??? is that 1mm so significant???

[Kungfu]

1mm??? could let my rims relay more on the nuts rather than spacer??

Spacer are fine as long as you customize it to fix your ride, and not those universal kind. MOst importance is that the spacer must come with a hub centric that fix perfectly on the wheels. FYI i am using a 30mm custom spacer on my ride.

I think what you need to know is whether you have sufficient thread for your nuts. Anything more is unnecessary. At least 5 half-turns (or 2.5 full turns) is what one tyre shop boss told me.

wow....that i think have lah. the mechanic use power gun to put back the nuts one.

finally found a shop at toh guan have a pair of 2mm spacer....exchange mine with him and paid him $10 for labour....now the spacer sit nicely into the hub,not protroding like the 4mm ones......according to the boss.......these spacer....esp the 2mm ones....almost extinct and very hard to find

I am using custom-made 23mm front and 25 mm rear spaces on my honda for 5 years now. no problems at all. of course I had to roll my fenders to ensure enough clearance for tyres. infact used 20-30mm spacers for my previous rides as well without problem. partly aesthetics and partly better ride and handing with wider tracks.

wider rear? Hondas are usually front-heavy. won't that cause your ride to understeer even more?

yes that wider rear will make you FF more understeer.

this spacer issue has no wrong or right.

some will say they have NO problem at all, some would have bad experient (will never never touch it)

SO my answer to myself or anyone here.

after installed ,any problem (vibration,fender rubbing, funny feel or worse wheel drop off )

dont blame the seller or installer.

Buying a quailty product may cost you more but the manufacturer conducted test and they will only sell you the proven or tested specification ( quality spacer maker will never supply spacer like 3-4 mm thickness )

why is it some after market spacer can sell such thinny spacer? you see carefully this product carry NO brand name.

it means they are totally no responsibilty of the product they produced and sold.

Make your own judgement and deicision.

Just MHO
