Random Little Question Thread
You're awesome. Thanks a ton! 
For everyone else info:
Danny's log shows that once he's up to temp, the car runs an average of 196deg peeking at around 201 when not moving.
Mine is running between 199 and 208, with it at 204 most of the time.
This is a little hotter than I'd like to see, but apparently the stock cooling system has a little higher temp that I was thinking it did anyway. (I thought it was more like 185-190)
Question now is, do I have a sensor that's incorrectly reporting the temp, a thermostat that's not opening at the right temp, a combination of the two, or another problem entirely.

besides the high speed balance, what else is recommended. Should I have them balanced again?
Ok im really confused with hubcentric spacers cause i see they come with built in studs already and holes for the other studs that are already on your car but im confused wouldnt the other stufs that dont go thru thr lug nutd hit the back of the wheel? The old non hubcentric spacers i used to have only had 5 holes not 10. And also im running longer studs not the oem studs which came with my old spacers. Would the hubcentric spacers still work with longer studs?. Old spacers were removed due to vibration, hence why i'm shopping for hubcentrics
If you already have extended lugs why not just stick with that and get a larger spacer? Stock lugs shouldnt hit the back of the wheels depending on your wheels themselves. I think the Rays for example have "pockets" in between where the lug threads that allows the stock lugs to sit in there. This isnt making sense, I need to find a pic.

Ignore the arrows, see the pockets in between where the lugs go? Thats where the stocks would sit if you ran the bolt on spacer, but again with extended lugs who knows, depends on the length of the stud probably. And some wheels wont have those pockets at all.
Yes, they go between the lug holes. OEM wheels have those gaps should be good for least 20mm, some aftermarkets have them.
.etc it raises idle
Well its around 650-700 without a.c. its basically two lines shy of 1k. thanks for the info though.

Most aftermarket products don't come with glare shields (HIDs) and or cut off (projectors, if aftermarket) so it may be a combination of both or just the HIDs since there is most likely no glare shield
