Ok I want to space out my rear wheels on my Corolla T-sport by 15-20mm each side.

Now the dilema is there are 2 types on the market for my car.

Type no.1

The hub-centic where the spacer bolts into where the old studs use to be and the new spacer comes with studs attached to that

Type no,2

I use longer wheel studs and go for a slide on 15-20mm spacer.


If it was you, what would you go for and why ?

Hub centric, particularly for that size.

They have a lip which supports the weight whereas the flat spacers have all the weight supported by the studs only.

There is no dilemma - always hubcentric. Mr T machined those spigots on the hubs for a very good reason.

Another vote for hubcentric, i am running spacers front and rear on my celica and no way i would use slot on. Just make sure you get a decent set of hubcentric, not cheap ebay jobbies, i would recommend freakyparts (drop stewart a message and he should be able to get you a set made up)

H&R spacers are TUV certified, they'll be fine.
