Seems like H&R and Ichiba are good brands to go with. Trying to stay with hub-centric but was told by H&R folks that this is only available on spacers thicker than 10mm. I would think that 5mm would hardly be noticeable.
I'm looking for the widest possible hub-centric spacers for front and rear without having to make mods (ie. rolling fenders).

I would luv to hear from someone who has done this.

Tires are stock size at 255-35-18 rear and 225-40-18 front. Any experience with spacers for this application?

BTW only other mod I intend to do is to add a front lip.

Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus
the front have 5/32nd thread while the rear still have 8/32nd, the rear should last me until summer time rite? i drive roughly 800miles a month. would the front last me or should i definitely replace them?

Those sizes should be good but if you can add a 5mm or maybe even a 10mm spacer front and rear you'll be fine.

This site is great. Thanks for your post, as well.

9.5 vs 10.0 in the back

I know a few people have 10s in the back, any special fitment issues? I'd prefer 10 but 9.5 seems to be the norm, does 10 require special offset or anything?
