Short, on point, no time wasted and offered calculations and solutions. Keep it up. WE WANT P.S japanracingwheels pls in the future.

You didn't mention that it changes the center position of the wheel. Changes the load position on the hub and its bearing causing accelerated wear of the bearing race.

Alex you definetely got tired after shooting this video, so much walking... 😂

Extended lugs and spacers are much better than adapter style, especially if you any sort of aggressive cornering. Corner fatigue really messes up the adapter style spacers.

My boy is really walking in the snow with a t shirt. I can't even handle 60 degree breezy weather with a jacket.

I’ve been running 25mm spacers in the rear for 4 months. No issues.

[CAVMAN]

Forgot about possible wheel bearing issues.

Yo your shop looks so dope. And wtf... it's snowing??? It's hot ass balls here in LA.

In an ideal world, you would get the right size and offset for your car from the get-go. When that's not possible, just spend the money on the right parts so your wheels don't fall off.

How often would you recommend retorquing your wheel spacer lugs?

[superdupertrooper]

Should I ask my alignment shop which spacers I should get or buy them first? I’m trying to buy some f1r f29 for my car so I’m kinda stuck on what to do first to avoid wasting time

This whole episode was just a tour of the shop and all your cars.

i wanna know if it is true that lowering springs only can be placed together with special shocks and struts.. some say that you can replace them with your series springs and no need to change your shocks/struts if the lowering is not more than 1 inch or 25mm

[Beegle]

makes a video around the shop *lowkey just trying to flex all the cars*

[CasperRaserbil]

"Oh, hey guys", so natural

[DoomsdayDefense]

When should you re-torque wheel spacers? I’ve read every 6, 000 miles?

[ErwinSchrodinger]

Please, you've done Volk, Koning, BBS... it's time you did Advan Yokohama rims. I'm a die hard fan (I've owned TCII, TCIII, & currently RZII). From my point of view, they are the most sophisticated and elegant styled rims in the market. The Advan GT is the greatest rim ever created! In addition, why in the world does Advan offer such aggressive offsets? They're the only company I know of that literally will have anywhere from 5-9 concave faces on almost their entire line of rims.

Those ebay spacers are what we have here on Spain on car shops XD

Looking for a set of wheels for 2018 STI and want a flush fitment with no poke, would 18x9 be ideal and what offset is preferable like +35??

[oneBIGMACgo]

What wheels are those on the accord at the end of the video?
