I ordered the O pad unfortunately for the fronts and rears. Rears clear with no issues but fronts just touch the brakes. I will be getting 5mm spacers machined and installed in a few days. This is a temp solution until my H&R or eibachs spacers come in - but first I need the temp spacers to see what mm branded spacer to get.

So there goes additional $$ but its my fault so im going to bit the bullet.

I dont have the wheels now as they are all but one in my friends garage tucked under a blanket. The 4th one is in my trunk to be given to the shop to machine a temp spacer. So no pics yet (breaks my heart to see it mounted/balanced on ps2's)

Its a good thing I got hub centric rings from Work - one headache my instinct had me foresee.

 

btw using these Work open ended lug nuts

That's what I thought.

 

If you only need a 3mm spacer, any generic spacer purchased at an autoparts store will work fine. They are universal, and aren't hubcentric, but they are only 3mm wide so they'll work without any problems. Going to 5mm and you'll need to change out your stock studs for longer ones to be safe. Other than that, brand doesn't make a significant difference, H&R, eibach, Ichiba all make similar spacers in 5mm.

 

use some standard washers on the studs to measure (do not drive on them) then use a caliper to see the exact clearance you need. On a side note is the abu dabhi on the cornish?

 

thanks man. i got the hr 5mm spacers with extended bolts
