I had some free time last week, so I spent it with aluminum roundbar at the school shop. They are 18mm spacers, hub and wheel centric. I made them from 6061-T6 aluminum. Also, I got some Peak Performance 60mm extended studs to compliment them. A few hours of lathe/mill work yielded this: ![http://img207.exs.cx/img207/3921/spacers17ja.jpg](http://img207.exs.cx/img207/3921/spacers17ja.jpg) ![http://img207.exs.cx/img207/1606/spacers20xc.jpg](http://img207.exs.cx/img207/1606/spacers20xc.jpg) ![http://img207.exs.cx/img207/8919/spacers34bv.jpg](http://img207.exs.cx/img207/8919/spacers34bv.jpg) ---

Thanks guys. The on car pics will have to wait until next week or so, since Iā€™m in waterloo and my car is in storage over in london. I just might produce them if there is enough interest. 8) ---

DAM NICE WORK!!! šŸ˜ƒ I give full propā€™s to those of you here who can do that sort of thing. Very, very nice man. Iā€™d be interested in two 5mm spacerā€™s so my stock winter rims will clear my calipers. Ball park, how much would you think on charging? Great job once again. Easy 8) ---

Iā€™m thinking about making a few sets for sale, assuming the price is right. If you would like some made, send me an offer and Iā€™ll consider it. As long as itā€™s fair, Iā€™ll make it. Keep in mind the material alone costed me $115.98 for the 6061-T6 roundbar. A good deal of work/time is also involved. Time is running short however, since my exams start in about 3 weeks, but I just might be able to sqeeze a few in. > [@sidewaze](#): > > Iā€™d be interested in two 5mm spacerā€™s so my stock winter rims will clear my calipers. Ball park, how much would you think on charging? The material alone would probably run in the $40 range for 6061-T6. Keeping in mind I need extra material to fit in the chuck safely. You can make me an offer for what you think is fair labour, assuming a few hours to make them. šŸ™‚ > [@slipperysilvia](#): > > are the studs threaded 12 by 1.25 or 12 by 1.5 ? > make sure they are the same thread as ure nissan lug nuts before u installā€¦good luck The studs are 12x1.25. Same thread pitch as the stock nissan studs. ---

I might need two 10mm spacers. Iā€™ll let you know after I mount my tires and test fit my new rims. ---

As Pete and I discussed - and something I sort of overlooked while planning my custom spacers - was that if he plans to make these to accomodate stock wheels, the spacers would need to be chamfered in order to fit inside the innerbore of the stock wheels. Might be a bit of extra work for him. If you have aftermarket wheels, youā€™d need to measure the innerbore on your wheels or Pete can just make generic ones and youā€™d have to buy spacer rings. Good job Pete. So are these babies going to be rust coated/painted? ---

So are these babies going to be rust coated/painted? They are aluminum, they dont need to be rust protected. The aluminum forms a passive layer and also acts as a sacrificial anode to the steel hubs. n00B!!!1! ---
