And Ben you haven't asked what product you need and when you wanna buy this ish.

yeah yeah i know lol. Im going to be picking up some slipstreams so might not need them. I'll let you know by the end of the week. oh i would be needing 4x100 to 4x108 , 17mm

just sayin'

just sayin'

wow greg, nice to know that the size i was given was wrong by the customer. read everyone else who has put them on and loved them. Just goes to show any dumbass with a wrench in hand is a mechanic these days. Also the same customer that pressed in the wrong bushings into his sub frame and trying to blame it on the manufacture. Choose your battles wisely.

How does that have anything to do with the size you were given? That looks like it was machined too close to me...

Still have no PMs...

Has nothing to do with size? if you are trying to install a spacer with a smaller hub size then this will happen. I told the customer I was going to replace them with a new set, but never heard word. I can prove that they have not had any malfunctions or anything.

The spacer was machined WAY too close, as was every one I've seen that you made. And the guy that makes these for you ADMITTED it was made wrong.

As for the subframe bushings, it WAS UUC's fault. They sent the wrong bushings, and with no pictures of their product on their website, there was no way of knowing.

teach me how to spacer

Directly from the other party involved:

Ok so, here is the deal with the spacer:

I gave EuroHB the 72.56mm spec for my car and he thought it was different and he would check and have it made to 'whatever the right spec is' later for me. I believe they had not tried to make a hubcentric spacer of this size (thickness) before.

When I softly tried to tap the spacer on to the car it didn't seem to fit over the hub all the way so I telephoned EuroHB and asked him what I should do. He said I should just tap it in harder and it would work. I was able to get the spacer onto the hub but the ring broke off when I mounted the wheel and tightened up the bolts.

I believe that there were two issues with the spacers: one is that the ring is too thin, and the other is that the spec EuroHB eventually gave to the fabricators was incorrect.

I have spoken with another person involved with the construction of these and I believe they are capable of building suitable spacers - the problem with this deal was just my interaction with EuroHB himself. I think there are definitely some maturity issues when it comes to business transactions.

As for the subframe issues he mentioned - we did encounter an issue due to UUC shipping me the wrong parts, and perhaps this wouldn't have happened to seasoned mechanics who had done the job before...but most people wouldn't even attempt such a job themselves and to suggest that we're just morons picking up wrenches and pretending to be mechanics because of this is not accurate.

I think we can all agree that rebuilding a subframe is not the same as fitting a spacer onto a hub and putting the wheels back onto the car.

I have the spacer that isn't broken and I can take some pictures if you guys would like.

In summary:

Spacers from EuroHB might be ok on your car but just be cautious when dealing with EuroHB himself. He had offered to either refund some of my money or provide new spacers; but I track my car and instead chose to go with a product from a more well known company.

guys, i accidentally the whole spacer

[Eurohb]

After reading the parties that were involved testimonials of my product that was purchased through me, I would like to state a few things that come to mind when this transaction went down. I offered Guest user whom accident is posting for's a full refund at the time of the mishap, I had phone and also texted the Customer to come to my work an get a full refund, along with a full brand new pair of spacers. The customer texted one of my friends the next day "I fell asleep, that's why I didn't go last night", I called and called that night which was a Saturday night. After that weekend I figured it wasn't for me the seller to have to come look for Guest user "the buyer" in order to get the refund to them is it? After 2weeks passed I figured it was over and the buyer never came to collect the new product and full refund, what company let alone sell who give a full refund and brand new product? The excuse of "I didn't know if he worked or not" from the buyer should not come to mind, everyone who knows me knows i work graveyards every weekend the same time, the same shift. After all that is settled, let me take a look at the spacer picture.

Picture of spacer shows signs of rust on the hub, which clearly rust can cause a friction of a spacer not to easily sit flush on a hub. Preferbly spacers are attached to a clean surface, so that no friction will come into contact upon installation.

Pictures of the spacers buyer was suppose to pick up.

5x120
72.56 Bore inlet and outlet
10mm







In conclusion to this matter, I have spoken with "The Buyer" and stated that I would give him partial refund at the moment. I stand behind my product 110% and trust my product on my own person vehicle. I am running a 5x120 72.56 adapter to a 5x114.3 74.1 20mm spacer, I would like to close the discussion on product malfunction. I am going to still be making adapters and spacers with a 100% GUARANTEE ON PRODUCT. I will be making a set for a fellow member here and he will shortly post up his outcome with me.

Thank you all and happy posting.

The rings on those new spacers are obviously machined too thin YET AGAIN. As far as the rust on the hub, we put his UUC spacers on, as well as some cheap chinese ones, with no prep, and they fit just fine and have been working ever since.

On another note, you also did an install of lights on a friend's car and managed to make the fucking wiring and switch melt. Yet another case of shoddy practices.

I also love how you don't have the balls to say anything to me directly, instead opting to send your friend (who is in Ohio) to do it for you via the internet. waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles.

from "The Buyer":

Since you insist on trying to blame me, allow me to FURTHER clarify:

I have successfully installed and used two sets of spacers (EBC and UUC) after these spacers failed, and the rings for the wheel to sit on were larger and more durable on even the cheap chinese made EBC spacers. My hub is not so rusty as to cause issues with spacers (and indeed it hasn't caused issues with the spacers I am running now).

Also - the extended wheel bolts you gave me were so long that the wheel couldn't spin when I installed them all the way in.

Honestly - I don't want to mess with your business, but to suggest in any way that the spacer failing is my fault is just ridiculous.

There is no way for you to 'close' the discussion on the product failing in this instance since it DID fail. Your refund offer would mean little to me if the failure happened on the freeway or in the canyon instead of in my garage - I just got lucky.

For you stance guys this is probably ok but if you drive your car hard I don't think I would trust these spacers.

The reason I didn't come to get the money from you is because I know you're poor and struggling to get a business off the ground, and prior to you referring to me as a moron on this forum we were essentially friends.
