Make sure to buy good quality spacers, properly torque them and recheck them from time to time and you should be alright.

All to be taken as info only...
Something as important as keeping the wheels on your VX is not where I would be trying to save a few $$$.
Also, get an alignment if you install spacers...
And use red loc-tite on the stud threads for bolting the spacers to the hub.

Thanks for the read and the videos Larry. Very interesting. Just to make sure, our center bore is 108 mm right?
Here are the three companies I checked out.

From what I can tell, the material is the same on all three. (Billet 6061-T6 Aluminumn) The price is the only difference I can tell.
EX. 1 - $220
EX. 2 - $120
EX. 3 - $140
What do you think guys?
Peace.

I really want to get a set of wheel spacers. Are you bringing your stock wheels to the edge of the fender? Thats what I would like to do. I haven't measured and don't know if its 1" or 3/4".
I've got a set of Tom's window brackets that I'm going to sell (mine weren't broken it turns out..) and try and finance a set of these spacers (the nissan/toyota ones).
Hey do we have to cut our studs down for the Isuzu stock 18" wheel to fit?
Yeah, I went with the with #2. Material was the same, quality was the same so I got them. They look good.........I put them on this past Saturday. My 285/60/18s Nittos are about 2.5 years old so the thread is a little worn. I know when I buy my new Nittos I'll have to do a little trimming.
We have a mini meet here in Dallas this Sunday, so hopefully I'll get some nice pics.
Peace.
