PBM spacers 15mm vs rota p45r 17x9.5 +12

[chuki monsta s13]

eyy zilvia, i was interested in purchasing 15mm pbm bolt on spacers to of course push my wheels out further... as you know every girl likes a lil poke :bowrofl: anyways i read somewhere that pple having issues mounting them on cuz of the design of the p45rs or sumthin.. jus wanted to know if anyone can clear this up..
thanks, meaing you run spacers with p45r

I'll poke you if you can't solve your problem. I work for lunch, or a sandwich.

I have 15mm spacers from PBM as shown here:

Don't most spacers look like this? Why wouldn't p45's fit for more poke...

EDIT: I think they wouldn't fit because of the excess from your old studs. P45's may not have holes to accommodate for it. 15mm doesn't cover the old studs up.

Here's a better pic but when you mount the spacers, you tighten nuts on the old lug mounts and there is still some excess left. One way to correct the excess is to cut/grind it off.

^And yes, I put the bolts on the wrong way. I realized that after I took the picture and proceeded to fix it

You should use hub centric spacer looking like this(see the middle ring that sticks out). It's important because your wheel will seating on hub. Bolts are there to secure the wheel on the hub.

i see, wat u did there, but the thing is i run extended studs up front ichiba to be exact.. and havve a set of nismo extended for the rears not installed yet.. 15mm spacers is only so much, so i understand your explanation of studs sticking out.. 25mm would not be an option, as in my opinion is too much poke but 20mm spacers i think would suffice

[Matej]

Some wheels do have enough hollow space where the studs protrude through, but a lot of wheels do not. It takes 25mm spacers just to clear OEM studs, and if you have extended studs, you would have to go even wider than that.

^^^Co-signed. I had some 20mm & 30mm spacers laying around. Only the 30mm's cleared the OEM studs so that the wheel could sit flush. The 20mm spacers let too much material poke through to clear. But I wanna say it seemed like more than 5mm excess, more like 10mm.

I'm really surprised P45R's don't have that little hollowed out space for excess stud material.

I bet you know that from your Hanabi's :)

this is what i have but in white.. i notice they carry extra holes would that help me fit bolt on spacers less than 25mm bolt ons

On my vehicle, I installed the spacers and cut the studs off so that they were flush with the "spacer lug nuts". Ran 15mm spacers with any wheel, no problem. Studs are like 89 cents each so if i every need to remove the spacer It'll cost me less than $10. And this was to clear my tie rods.

What are those Nissan emblem shaped things on the spacer? First time I've ever seen and I used to have PBM spacers.

[Dustxking]

^ I belive it is their new design to use a 15mm and use up to a 8mm slip on so it locks into place? correct me if i am wrong.

that's the rear side of the spacers. That's the bottom part of the extended studs.

[wh0aitznic0]

Wait, I feel retarded lol.

They're two spacers facing each other and that's the bottom. -___-

Looks like they have giant holes between where the wheel studs go through....that would leave me to believe they'd work with 15mm spacers.

[chuki monsta s13]

exactly wat i thought

[simmode1]

Are you sure the other set of holes aren't for another lug pattern? Like 4x100 versus 4x114.3?

I assume we're talking about 4 lugs, because P45R's don't come in this size/offset for 5 lug anymore....

[nathanong87]

i'm 95% sure that p45 are not multiple lug pattern

[ayuaddict]

If I remember correctly, although the relief holes are not exactly 5x114.3, they are a large enough diameter to clear studs.

pretty sure pbm spacers are hubcentric. hubcentric is when the i.d. of the spacer is machined to fit snug on the hub. i think you're referring to wheel centric spacers or a ring that makes it fit snug on the i.d. of the wheel.

[chuki monsta s13]

thanx erybody for input

[joel.e.krueger]

they work.

[Bushido]

p45's are only cast with one bolt pattern, the other four holes are fo dekrayshun
