The DRS's come with another set of bolts so you bolt the spacer to the hub of your car then you use your original bolts and bolt your rims to the spacers...
The DRA's and DRM's are for 40mm-90mm, look at the website I had given the link to earlier.

Read the DRS description. :-) Make sense now? (no sarcasm)

It specifies that we use studs (not bolts) and use the DRM series for 25mm. I guess this is what has me confused.

he sold his spacers last week that he had on his 350z. I think "studs" may mean bolts with short heads to accommodate the rim sitting flush with the spacer.
oh wow, look at the part number from the site you just gave me for the 25mm spacers, it is the exact part number I quoted for the 25mm H&R spacer. We are talking about the same spacer
Those spacers are DRS, not DRM.
Looking at the H&R site, they specifically list DRM as 40mm+ nothing below... and at the bottom is the note.
"Note: All DRA, DRM and DRS kits come complete with all necessary wheel bolts, studs and nuts. These will be used in connection with the existing parts fitted to the vehicle. DRS kit requires the new studs to be pressed into the hubs of the vehicle."
Glad we figured that one out.

Basically Eric's pictures are with his car somewhat lowered. My guess is that when he goes over bumps and such it wouldn't rub as the wheel goes up into the wheel well. In this case, you shouldn't rub or have any major problems. Maybe someone with more experience can chime in. :-)
Here are the rest of Eric's pictures!

here's mine with Kics 15mm & 20mm; also Tanabe DF210s/tokico d-specs. It rubs a little if front wheel turned a lot and hit driveway or serious dip at any speed. I think it's lower than Erics and it's back in camber spec.
Rides great going down the road and doesn't rub driving around in general. Don't think you could go wider tires on stock rim (which I wanted to do).

Mondo, do you have the 225's on front? I was thinking about getting two more rear rims with 245's on them and putting those on the front or doing 255 35 19 on all four. (not sure how the VDC would act with 4 rim/tires of the same size instead of staggered)
Where do you rub in the wheel well on the front? On the inside or the outside?
