Wow, these arrived fast! They only left JP just days ago on the 21st, package arrived today the 23rd. It was about an hour ago when I heard some rustling at my front door. I didn’t hear the ring camera go off, so, I did the white girl thing in a scary movie; “hmm what’s that?” and went outside to take a peek. When I opened the door, I saw my package from Japan sitting there. 😍
I have nothing against the well made brands despite their origins, the only difference is that when I approached the fork in the road I went left. Wheel spacers on a whole have never been my thing. A 3-5mm to make some caliper/strut clearance, ok cool, that’s the norm. But, a 10+mm in the name of stance is heinous. It was known to be a wheel bearing killer back in my glory days. Proper wheel specs were always and will always be respected over wheel spacers.
FFWD to 2026…the game has changed. Here I was, trapped in the vicious trend I frown upon as a low cost solution to my problems. Hating how bad the red on black wheels highlight the +60 offset of the factory wheel, I had to take action. I hit the wheel spacers thread and read, post by post. Outside of the Honda Access wheels, I was in no rush to molest this car. But, the offsets weren’t any better—for the coin, one can have a set of wheels made.
Ultimately, all the research led me to this set of ZSS 17mm spacers. Made in Japan. Weighing 1lb.14oz. They just checked all the boxes. Out of the box they feel well built, and give off really solid vibe. No crazy sharp edges, labeling consistent across all spacers, hubcentric to the FL5 and boots to protect the stud thread.
