Yet another spacer question...
Hey Guys,
I've searched but couldn't find a definitive answer. i am curious to know what size spacers i need (front and rear) to get my stock 18" wheels sit flush...I've seen many different suggestions but i am hoping to find a definitive answer from somebody who knows for certain.
Thanks!

Spacers are the solution of last resort.

Stock wheels are ball seat. Just add the same MM to the lugs to match the MM of whatever spacer you use.
I.E: If you run 10MM spacers, get new lug bolts that are 10MM longer than stock ones. Usually H&R Hubcentric Track+ spacers come with matching lug bolts.

When I researched the h&r spacers it said they included studs but not extended bolts...so I want to be sure I'm ordering the right stuff.

The wheels in your sig are the stock 18s no? Was your car dropped at the time you took that pic? They fill the wheel well so nice - I feel like our stock wheels look so small on the car...hoping the spacers help.

Are those the 847r's that Bill made for that SL a while back? The matte black centers look hot. A friend of mine has Blacked out DPE's with Chrome lips. The look is fantastic on a dark colored car.

No, this is a different set. Bill will be working on these soon. I wanna change the color, im not too fond of the black centers. bill is also working on my 20" Vellano VSO brushed with tinted clear.

What are you going to do to the Centers? brushed and cleared? I'll post pics of my setup this weekend, once I have it washed and cleaned.
