Was thinking of getting these for my front wheels, but a mechanic mate said they don't look safe?

Any opinions please?

dont see how you can tell by looking at them whether they are safe or not, knowing the material spec and testing data would give you a better idea :)

TUV Approved is OK.. That's what you need to look for.

. Hubcentric H&R are a good quality spacer (German Made).. Driftworks do them for the zed 5X114.3 I have just bought a set from them @25mm.

Thanks for that! But will they deffo fit my Z as it says for skyline and 200 only? What does "hubcentric" for less vibration mean? Cheers

Yes, they will fit your zed.. I've just bought a pair.. Specify for Z32 300zx when you order, but they are the same fitment 5X114.3

The hubcentric spacers have a hub centre extension on the spacer, which allows the wheel to sit properly on the hub, with less chance of vibration or shearing, I believe..

 

I don't have any vibration issues with my wheels on these spacers.. And were ample for clearing the front caliper.

 

If you give Driftworks a call, and speak to Ben, he is very helpful.

It has a lip to ensure the wheel sits central and they fit perfectly,

lol, luckily it started off as a judder then got steadily worse till i worked out what was goin gon and went and took them off in fosse park and put them back on properly :D

Sorry to Hijack the tread, but does anybody know if its possible to get an adaptor to allow 100pcd wheels to go onto a 300zx hub?

Cheers Bantum/Gumball, wasn't sure at first but feel more confident about them now after reading that, hopefully get 'em for the weekend. I'll let you know what my mechanic mate thinks of 'em after the weekend, he's used to cutting up and armour plating new bentleys and rollers so he's a fussy git lol!
