I was told that H&R makes the best spacers so I say yes. Getting mine soon wanted to put my #1 pads on the rear so I could see exactly how big I wanted to go. Is the studs going all the way thru the spacers or is the spacers bolted to the car then the wheel to the spacer?

This is what I meant go with these if they make two different styles just seem more secure. the spacer bolts to the hub then the wheel bolts in to the spacer. Somebody chime in if I'm wrong So me and mike can get the right thing

I got em off ebay for $130
Watch out for the bolt length on the spacers just needs 4mm to be grinded down.
More expensive but more secure, also have the same on the front.

Measure how far your current bolts go into the hub. Then measure how far the spacer bolts go into the hub. Compare and grind down spacer bolt to size to match same depth as OEM. Also mount rim to spacer prior to mounting to car to see if it will mount flush to hub without any issues of OEM bolts being too long too.
