Just some info H&R web site has some good info reference there wide Trak system It discusses spacers. I agree with some of you guys buy from a good company like H&R eibach and most of the japanese companys. I plan on buying some spacers in the near future. Really how many of us track or drag race our cars. Love this site lot of good questions.

Yes they do. Bolt it on and you're good to go. Don't forget to put the hub centric ring on there too.

I hope you enjoyed your time in the military and I know you performed very well in Iraq and probably Afgan. I was in desert storm but no where what you guys went though.I agree with you there are alot of nice cars here but yours looks great. I am little older than most of you but I enjoy cars alot. I have an 07 and working on it. I would like to achieve the flush look but am a little confuse on what size spacer to get. I will figure it out sooner or later.

Shoot me a PM if you need help. I'm not a fitment guru by any means, but I can at least point you in the right direction.

I had 25mm spacers all around on my car, driving aggressively, and never had any problems. I have heard of members on here putting them to track their cars, apparently for handling. Meh

And i forgot to mention, buying authentic name brand spacers will lessen the probability of something going wrong. The same pertains to people who buy replica wheels. You will run into the same type of issue. So basically there's always issues here and there about these types of things. Which ever route you choose take, just make sure you buy authentic ****, so you wont have to be worried about it.
