H&R Hubcentric Spacers on the CATERA

[elvin315]

I looked around but could find no one that sold rear discs other than stock replacements. I assumed you were only upgrading from solid to vented rotors. Where did you find those 12.1 inch discs? Did you have to fabricate a new mounting?

Well now that the winter is near I decided to go back to the OEM 17" Wheels with the new tires that I put on a while back...

The tires are 245 45 17 Kumho Ecsta ASX I believe... but I can check if you want...
Anyways the other wheel and tire package was a mere 44lbs/pc... and these suckers are almost 55lbs... so quite a weight difference and you can tell that by the way the car drives...

here are some pictures of the car that i jsut took... its about to start snowing out and thats why it was wet... ohhh and my car is super dirty...
Enjoy

WOW!! I like how you went the extra step and truly converted your Catera into an Omega by switching everything from left to right. I guess moving the steering and controls required shifting the exhaust to the right side but did you have to reverse the US Flag too?

Yeah that was kind of hard... it took all but 3sec BTW... LOL funny thou...

I forgot to take the picture from the opposite side so I wanted it to be as close to the other as possible and that was the first thing that came to mind...
Sorry about the flag thou...

I finally got around to installing the H&R wheel spacers in the rear. The fenders look filled to the brim now. I'm running 235/45-17 tires and the extra inch (25mm) on each side brings them almost even with the inner edge of the fender. She looks hot with a wider butt.

I do have a question. Now, it could be my imagination but anyone with these spacers notice a different feel when turning? I think it turns is quicker. Like the extra track width levers the front end around easier than before. As I I said, I could be dreaming but it sure feels that way.

Question for u guys. Do these spacers come in a set of two? And do they come with everything like the bolts shown in the picture and such?
