Great video and positive vibe! I recently went with 15mm Eibachs all around - V8 S with blades. Looks great. No issues with 15mm on blades because of the pockets, as you mentioned. I sprayed a layer of Permatex Anti-Seize Lubricant on the rear face of the spacer. One negative I see is that the spacers highlight and draw your eye to the wheel gap between the tire and fender. I ordered so Velocity AP springs to drop the profile 22mm or so. We'll see . . .

[@markholubetz]

Awesome, thanks for watching and I would love to hear about the results of dropping the car and if you are dealing with any clearance issues.

[@jimbrooks38]

Hey Mark, probably my inept ability, but I couldn’t find the info on if you mentioned what adapters you actually installed. I believe you said would be on the next Vlog, but I couldn’t find it.

[@markholubetz]

Hi Jim, I do not have the actual part number but it was a place in Reno Nevada called Motorsport-Tech. Lots of options, but I basically measure things so wheel is still slightly inset and not quite flush. Would love to hear how you make out there. Cheers.

[@WatchHobbyist]

It’s now a few months along… have you noticed any issues at all? Great video, thanks

[@markholubetz]

Hi, no issues so far and I love the look so I will keep sporting this at least for now

[@AmeenAlHashem]

Hi, Thank you for this amazing modification Were can I buy this spacers from??

[@markholubetz]

Check description, it is a great mod.

[@stefanlarcheveque5135]

Great look Mark ..u have a link for us thx again keep it up

[@markholubetz]

Will do on the next Vlog

[@alhepburn837]

LOOKS GREAT. I imagine that tyre wear will be exaggerated on the inner edge for the rear axle tyres over time, especially as your daily drive. Really great video Mark. You put the effort into this. Well done.

[@markholubetz]

Thanks, I am not sure on the wear as the geometry should not change other than maybe harder deflection with aggressive bumps. But time will tell

[@thomashelm6931]

Yes! The adapter looks great! Good mod... The hockey puck was brilliant!

[@markholubetz]

Haha, true, us Canadians always have a few picks laying around.

[@nihongtsaiyan7902]

👋 hi. Where did you buy the adapters? I really want this adapters since you didn’t had to grind the factory wheel studs! Thanks

[@FFE-js2zp]

The big question with electric assisted HP is how many pulls are the small batteries good for, and then how long do you have to drive at reduced power (and high weight) to recharge them?

[@FFE-js2zp]

And how much do they cost to replace in a few years, as all Li-Ion batteries have brief lifespans. Manufacturers LOVE the idea of $100K disposable cars. Once people figure that out, they won't be as in love.

[@daveevans6783]

Quite like that Mark, may have to look into this. Thanks for another heads up.

[@markholubetz]

You are very welcome. I love the final look.

[@Chriis_C]

Great video, your car is gorgeous. Just wondering how you went about adding the red stripe in the front and back of the car? Very nice touch.

[@markholubetz]

Thanks very much. I love this car. I actually cut some sign grade, UV rated Vinyl material. I do decals and signs as. small biz locally.

[@Chriis_C]

Excellent work. I think the gray and silver colors on this car are my favorite, particularly with the red calipers. The stripes tie in nicely. Congrats, I think you have a timeless car. 👍🏼

[@markholubetz]

Thank you

[@jimbrooks38]

Mark, off topic but is the red striping on the front and rear vinyl “pinstriping”? I’m wanting to do the same look on my black R.

[@markholubetz]

Hi Jim, yes I have some heavy duty UV resistant sign grade vinyl.

[@kinggrimlock35]

Perfect fit man! It gives more aggressive and your car is so gorgeous…. Every angle is stunning… 😍

[@markholubetz]

Thanks a lot, I appreciate that. Just the little details needed to cap it off.

[@DRZDuke]

Great video, mod looks killer! Wondering where you purchased these from ?

[@markholubetz]

The stripes? I did myself with some sign grade vinyl

[@DRZDuke]

​@@markholubetz - Sorry Mark, I meant the wheel spacers

[@hardcopyfax]

Memory servers me right , you already drove a Hyper car in Edmonton and didnt break it LOL Cheers Bruce and Sandra

[@markholubetz]

Hi Bruce and Sandra, you bet and that Murcielago SV has carved a spot in my history and really is a highlight that will stay with me for my days. There really aren’t many cars of that caliber. Thanks again for that. Cheers and hope that you enjoy the rest of the season.

[@leonleemungaun4968]

Hi Mark, thanks for sharing this video. Great job with the spacers / adaptors. Looks fantastic. I'm tempted to do this myself now. Can you share the contact for the vendor? Leon (Singapore)

[@markholubetz]

Hi Leon, I will share on the next vlog because I would liewkt explain something with it as well.

[@craigtackett6027]

What brand spacers do you have? I have the same car / wheels and it looks great. Thinking of doing the same. Thanks in advance.

[@markholubetz]

Thanks I love the results and I will share them on the next video Vlog

[@thereeldeelsteel]

Another great video brother. Thanks for sharing!

[@markholubetz]

Thank you very much

[@DomenicCianfagna]

Hi Mark, nice look with the new adaptors. You have the 5042 wheels but my Jag has the 1066 wheels. I was told on the 1066 wheels the 17mm should be good without cutting any of the studs, would you know if that's true? Also you seem to have the same tire size as mine, 295 in the back and 255 in the front would you know if your 5042 wheels have the same offset as my 1066 wheels? My front wheels are 9x20 55 and the back are 11x20 54. I assume the 54 and 55 is the offset and was wondering if you know your offset on the 5042 wheels, I cant seem to find that info on the online. I am also worried about using 17mm in the front, not sure if it tires would rub. Also where did you buy your spacer hub adaptors? thank you for your time on this. Dom.c

[@markholubetz]

Hi Dom, thanks and yes they fit great and I love the stance now. My wheels are the blades and have relief pockets in back eliminate cutting of studs but from what I have heard is that all other wheels may require trimming. If you have a wheel off, have a look at the way they are machined because if they are relatively flat at the back, then modifying the studs may be in order. Always measure twice and cut once. Cheers

[@JohnRS82]

Looks definately as it should now! Have you already tested if it rubs on big bumps?

[@markholubetz]

No rubbing after driving around for a week

[@JohnRS82]

I’ve ordered mine, they should arrive in a couple of days. 😎 It really finishes the look. You showed the difference really good in this video. Got the carbon blade wheels so instalation should not be too difficult.

[@ChrisFEJackson]

awesome! I have an R AWD V8 coming and this will be one mod I'll be doing too, same rims btw. Your videos for the F Type have excellent owner details. Thanks!

[@markholubetz]

Nice. Congrats and what type of spec do you have? Coupe or convertible? Thanks for watching. Much appreciated

[@ChrisFEJackson]

@@markholubetz Yeah should have said it's important. Coupe (of course) I am serious petrol head. It's all back with carbon trim pack,, glass roof etc kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXLSdoppaMmKodE

[@dpvbischoff]

It’s surprising how much different it looks! I will be interested in knowing if you notice the car getting dirtier when you drive in wet weather.. I have the same wheels on my R, so I’m glad to learn you didn’t have to grind down the lugs or drill out the back of the wheels. P.S. use a torque wrench to torque the lug nuts to the proper spec for the vehicle, and don’t use air/impact wrenches.

[@markholubetz]

Thanks David on the torque wrench tip. It’s very important to have everything tightened to spec and not above. As far as the rainy mess, we will see and I will update the channel with time on any negative results. I read on the site of the spacers about the only exception being the blade wheels so that was an easy sell for me. Have an awesome day.

[@dr_houlakohi]

Hey Mark, could please drop off the link for spaicer, thanks

[@markholubetz]

Definitely will on the next vlog because I should explain something with that

[@georgesmith8988]

Definitely looks better. I think the wheel bearings will have slightly more load, but still worth it

[@markholubetz]

Maybe but I love the way it looks so I feel it may be hard to go back now

[@alessandronunziata5261]

Hi Mark! Good work, it looks better than before... Do you have carbon ceramic breaks? Best regards from Italy

[@markholubetz]

Thanks Alessandro. I have the standard steel brakes on my car so it’s a pretty easy, but with that said, I was thinking eventually once the car needs new brakes, that’s a reminder to the shop to install the spacers over the new rotors.

[@alessandronunziata5261]

@@markholubetz Good morning Mark, thank you! Have a nice day.

[@thef14d]

Why didn’t you buy a wider set of tires? (305 back and 265 in the front) I think you could have the same result

[@MaraganiVenkatarahul]

Hey mark , will it look same if we upside the tyres ?

[@tymarkham3931]

Where did you get the spacers from I would like to get the same kind? Thanks 👍

[@markholubetz]

Sorry will have to check my paperwork and get back to you. They have been great though and for looks I would highly recommend going that way.

[@tymarkham3931]

@Mark Holubetz okay thanks for getting back to me brother

[@tymarkham3931]

Great video brother thanks

[@markholubetz]

You bet, thanks a lot for watching.

[@FFE-js2zp]

My rears are flush with no rubbing. One thing to keep in mind, my after market wheels came in with the wrong offset, so I have 15mm spacers too. Its way better, IMO, to have the correct, pushed-full-out wheel offset than spacers with after market wheels. The reason isn't safety, its bcs you'll have much deeper dish wheel spokes. I personally hate flat rear spoke wheels.

[@markholubetz]

I agree, if buying wheels, that’s the time to get the measurements right

[@daviddenley3512]

I'm about to show you my lack of knowledge but here in the UK Spacers are illegal for the same reason as you said...bolt length. But...Why not exchange the wheels for a wider size?

[@markholubetz]

Nice. I thought about that too but I love those wheels. The spacer thing is one to be careful with as a wheel coming off at speed is e ouch to ruin someone’s day.

[@AmeenAlHashem]

Amazing look

[@markholubetz]

Much appreciated. These cars are so easy on the eyes for sure.

[@chrisdziewurski1327]

Nice mod . definitely gives the car that finished look , only concern i would have is debris catching and chipping the rear and front ,back of the wheels .

[@markholubetz]

Thanks for watching. Yes, that’s a risk but that plastic guard helps at the rear and some Expel paint protection film is always good on the lip and fenders on blast zones.

[@FFE-js2zp]

Your roads look like the autoban compared to Texas, AKA Mexico. Air dam and front hood are hopeless, I have a few strikes that were ~6 inch pieces of something.

[@markholubetz]

Wow, we see some nasty things on the road here too at times. I had a buddy who accidentally drove over an 8 inch piece of concrete and it blew a hole in his oil pan causing some serious damage to his 3 series BMW

[@robertyaaa]

What size are the spacer? I want to get a set for my SVR as well

[@markholubetz]

My spacers are 15mm front and 17 mm back but not sure what your Tim size and offset are as the SVR may have different sizes. My rear tire width is a 295

[@georgesmith8988]

You mentioned the similarities between the Jag and Aston Martin, but the Jag was designed at Jaguar by Ian Callum as a follow up to the E type, but when Ford took over Jaguar and Aston Martin they gave it to Aston Martin

[@waynejohn8]

Brilliant, Mark. Looks totally stunning. Good mod. Totally a keeper. As far as the Koenigsegg - beautiful. Never seen one, though. Regards.

[@ashb8508]

Good video mate. Keep the info styled videos happening.

[@markholubetz]

Thanks a lot for the support. You bet it’s all about the personal side of my car ownership and lifestyle. Cheers

[@herbieedwards4564]

Hey Mark where did you get your adapters?

[@markholubetz]

Hi I will share this on the next VLOG but I need to explain something with them.

[@thomashelm6931]

OMG! What a beast! These things are beautiful! I only became aware of them, even, a few weeks ago. True, a piece of artwork! I can't help but wonder if the owners walk around with branded hats and polo shirts 😂

[@FFE-js2zp]

The F is old school muscle. Last time I participated in a Jag rally I had the only F Type and at 50 I was the youngest by far.

[@thomashelm6931]

@@FFE-js2zp So the others had plates that said my other car is a motorized wheelchair?

[@markholubetz]

haha I see the F Type definitely attracts a more mature clientele but I have seen some younger folks here driving them

[@j1035ak]

Where did you purchase them?

[@markholubetz]

I will share on the next vlog but I need to explain a couple of things

[@luclapierre7621]

Take a shot every time he says carbon fibre

[@daviddenley3512]

Firstly, I can't even say the Supercars name! Secondly I can't spell It either 🤔 Thirdly, it looks Fantastic 😳 Lastly, are you buying it?

[@markholubetz]

Haha, thanks David. Those cars are absolutely fantastic and a true work of art. Not sure I can buy something of this magnitude at this time but it’s certainly worth shooting for as a goal.

[@milkovivaldi]

You have to lower the suspensions

[@markholubetz]

Thanks I will look at that

[@FFE-js2zp]

Woohoo first comment!

[@markholubetz]

Thanks and good morning

[@MyTROLLEYBUS]

Oh dear can't cope with the high pitched voice.
