Installed my spacers, WHAT a difference.

Well I finally got a set of 20mm spacers and intalled them. Makes a BIG difference on the stance of the car. Love it.

Before:


After:




Need to roll the rear fenders, I am scrubbing ever so slightly when turning with people in the back seat.

spacers are a no-go IMO, just order the correct sizes and offsets when ordering your wheels

Looks great. You chose the right type of spacer that attaches tom the hub and gives you new studs. I used to use those on another vehicle and they work fine. GOOD JOB!

Thanks, I'm fortunate that my wheels have pockets for the oem studs to sit in because they stick out past the spacers.

why? spacers with their own studs haven't had many problems at all. sure it isn't the ideal but such as with the oem wheels there is no choice of offsets

I'm definately getting a lot more compliments on the car since I put them on, even when it's filthy dirty.

I pulled in to AutoZOne after it had rained and tha car was nast dirty and the guy that worked there said "I LOVE that thing" as he drooled on himself. I just laught and said "Thanks man" Cool moment.
