Stock Height 18" Stock Wheels Spacers Needed
OK I have searched all the threads and I am still sorta turned around on what H&R spacers I need on my car.
I am on stock 18" wheels and stock height, from what I have read I need the following,
12mm for the front
15mm for the rear
Can anyone CONFIRM this?
Also do I need any additional bolts to use with the spacers?

for non lowered cars on stock wheels i would say 10mm up front is absolute max for super flush no poke/ maybe very small poke, nothing abonoxious. i prefer 5mm for front. I have approx 6mm out from factory offset with my new wheel setup and it looks pretty flush up front.
For rear 12-15mm would be flush. yes you would need longer bolts. stock bolts are 27mm length so add your spacer thickness to get bolt you need. so for a 5mm front you would need 32mm bolts round up to 35mm for nearest size. and for rear you would need 42mm for 15mm spacers round to nearest size you can buy 45mm bolts.

we both said 12mm so go with that. it really comes down to personal preference. the difference between 10 and 12mm will be not noticable to eye. it would mainly be for clearance. the difference between 10 and 15 would be noticeable but 15mm is absolute limit and would be aggressive.
you cant go wrong with 12mm in the back. make sure to get a special type spacer as mantioned in numerous spacer threads on here.

Following along this thread and want to go with H&R 15mm spacers as well. but looking for a vendor that has the longer bolts as well. anyone have links for a once source shopping purchase?
