you need to give the offets or your wheels, and tire sizes.

Or you can get the Project Kicks which bolt on to your existing studs.

they come with studs attached to the spacer, and bolts to attach to your stock studs. the studs that come with the spacer replace your stock ones.

FYI, all brands of spacers over 25mm use that design, H&R, Kics, Eibach, Ichiba etc.

That's what I've got. They work great. Just put some loc-tite on your original studs when putting them on.

+1 Yeah I forgot to mention that anything under 25mm (for most of the spacers) isn't safe enough to just bolt on. That's when they supply you with longer studs.

I actually didn't even use loc-tite. After about 50 miles I took off the rears and re-torqued the spacer bolts. To my surprise none of them needed to be re-torqued. I've driven over 5000 miles since and no wobble or shake at all.
