Apikol 5mm wheel spacers

[AWD Addict]

Has anybody had success running Apikol's 5mm spacers up front? I'm getting a good amount of steering wheel vibration at freeway speeds.

Don't do it - this is what you need, 5's. 42 draft designs.
Sorry this!

Why? Are they any different?

Your appear not to have a lip, correct? HC/WC. I had flat H&R 5's HC and nothing I could do to eliminate vibrations. Wheel hangers etc etc, they suck.

Spend the $50-60 and you will never look back. The ones I have are specifically made to fit OEM wheel so if you run customs make sure to tell them as it changes lip design/fit.

I would have if I'd known it was an option when I bought them

No worries, we all been there! :) I have 2-3 worthless sets in different brands at home. And the reason I added the supplier/manufacturer - is because they are a unicorn of spacers for having the feature with only 5mm. Never seen another brand to date. I wish I found these years ago, some British member revered me to them. Ironic since the are US made.

Awesome info. Thank you. My order is on the way. The old ones are paper weights now.

Sweet! yeah need to get rid of mine too... Worthless. Amazing to me that companies produces products that fail 95% of the time. Waste of time and money. And by failing I mean a balanced outcome, assuming that no-one will consider a shaking steering wheel, upon install, an acceptable/successful outcome.

What's even harder to believe is that a very well known local RS4 tuner shop recommended them and then sold them to me.

Seattle squash...can you tell me the part number for the 5mm spacers? There were a few different options when I placed the order and I accidentally purchased the wrong one. I emailed 42 Draft Designs last Wednesday but haven't received a reply yet.
