Wait till those springs settle, it takes a while, then its going to look super hot. Can ou post your wheel specs and offsets, im curious as to how the spacers worked for you. I havaae 18x9 and 10.5 wheels with 30 offsets and i wanna pull the wheels out a lil too. But not sure if i would need new wheel bolts or if just buying spacers will do.

they are 03 track wheels. Not sure of the specs.

Yeah the springs are only 3 days old......they look lower every day.

Been driving with the stage II for about a month now and love it. Looking at yours, kinda makes me wish I went with the drilled rotors instead of the slotted ones.

Do you think you could have gone with 20mm spacers in the front? Where did you get the spacers?

Not shorter, but you will have less bolt to turn the lugs on, thats what im curious about, what if the bolts no longer long enough in certain situations? And how would you know if you would need longer bolts?

I'm pretty sure these spacers of this length all come with new studs. So the spacer itself goes over your original studs and are tightened down to your stock hub. Then the spacer itself has its own studs to hold your wheel.

Get the idea? Its not how a couple of you are thinking.

As far as the spacer are concerned.... The 20mm are the type with new studs built into the spacer....i think they call them DRM type. The 15mm is a just a spacer but comes with new longer studs.

Was it hard to install the studs? I know that Ichiba spacers don't come with them pre-installed. These are hubcentric? If you had 245's in the front, would the 20mm spacer work up there? Thanks again.

the front ones were more of a process. I had my shop do them. Without air tools it might be hard.

They are hubcentric. No rings.

I think a 20mm with a 245 would be almost too much. I have 225 up front now. 245 in the rear so you can see the difference.
