Any issue with running 10mm spacer in front ?

Getting wheels and am going to have to run a 10mm spacer in front. Am I going to have any issues or vibration or should I be ok? Thanks

Im using H&R 10mm spacers in the front. sorry I don't have the product #.. make sure you get hub centric spacers and you will now need longer bolts in the front.. As long as you have fender clearance you will have no issues.

Correct H&R 10mm front spacers part number is 20556659. To avoid confusion H&R rear 10mm spacers part number is 2055665. All H&R spacers are hubcentric and when used with appropriate longer bolts (and wheels' bolts torqued as per specs) cause no vibration at all. I use them on all vehicles.

I bought the H&R 10mm spacers but lip on them are deeper than the center cap on the rim. Has anyone ever cut part of it off the spacer? I am at odds what to do.

Above is possible only when using front 10mm spacers (pat number 20556659). Some wheels do have a very short "hub" hence the "hat" part of "front" H&R spacers is actually as long (or longer) than wheels' hub.

1. If you can install wheel, but not the center cap - cut/break center caps' tabs and secure with tape on the inside

or

2. If you can not install wheel at all, then there're only two choices - A. you can not use spaces larger than 5mm with those specific wheels upfront, or B. you can not use these wheels if you want to use front spacers larger than 5mm (I would go with A.).
