H&R 5mm front / 15mm back spacers installed! *Pics*
I got some new wheels a couple weeks back and the stock lug bolts did not work with the new wheels (the bolts only turned 4x, they were not long enough for the new wheels). I had to get new bolts and figured it would be a good opportunity to also get some spacers since I wasn't quite happy with the stance.
The front spacers are 5mm were $45 new and are not hub centric but as you can see in the picture, there is plenty of hub area for the wheel to go on so it's not a concern. The rear are 15mm were $90 new and are hub centric as the rear has a very small hub lip from the factory.
Also picked up new lug bolts that were measured to stick out of the back 20mm after the spacer was installed to match the factory bolts/wheels and turn 8x when tightened.
Tested to 85 MPH and no vibrations, everything works as it should. All four wheels are 18x8 ET35 w/ 245/40-18 tires BTW.
