Wheel Spacers
I'm still not sick of the look of the stock 18s but at the same time I'd like to get the wheels to be more flush with the body of the car. I was thinking maybe wheel spacers would make a nice difference.
Any horror stories w/ spacers for our cars?
What brand do you guys recommend?
What's a good place to get longer bolts and is that even necessary? (some spacers have built in studs)
Oh and also, what's a good thickness for front and back?
Thanks

I'm running H&R hubcentric spacers 10mm rear & 12mm front, they are pretty flushed with no rubbing.
Any H&R distributor can get them.. like tirerack. I got mine from essexdistribution in Canada. I also bought my longer bolts from them. You will need at least 37mm to 40mm bolts to be on the safe side. I'm using 40mm all around w/o any problem.
As for safety, there will be a big debate on the topic... all I can say is used them with cautious. For daily drive is fine, not recommended on tracks.
Good luck!

That's odd, i still have my stock 18's with 265s in the rear and i put in 10mm spacers and my rear started to rub if i went over any dips or bumps, and if people sat in the back seat, it would rub with the fender always.
The car wasnt even lowered then so i was a bit shocked. Im thinking of rolling my fenders so that i can put the spacers on, it looks so much more flush in the rear then

I'm running stock size tires (255/30/19).. So yes, 265 will rub unless u run 5mm spacers in the rear instead if 10mm.
