i just installed a set of wheel spacers (8mm) i bought off ebay from this seller. they offer 5, 8, 10 and 12mm. the quality and fitment of these spacer is perfect/no vibration. fast shipping too! the sellers ebay id is "wheeladapters".

nice, i have to get some. What size would you recommend for stock wheels/suspension for the rear wheels, As they are really inset. Also what is the widest i could go with the stock lug bolts?
thanks

i dont think anything above 5mm is safe with stock bolts

correct....anything above 5mm you will need longer bolts. 5 really doesn't make a difference anyways except for clearing larger brakes. stock bolt length is 40mm i believe so i put on 8mm spacers with 45mm (length) bolts on 18x8 ET31 wheels. it was a perfect fitment.

i used the wheel offset calculator and with stock wheels/suspension if you used a 20mm spacer with 60mm length bolts, you would be pretty close to the fender. so i would probably buy 15mm spacers with 55mm length bolts.

my advice is buy the spacers from "jnolte" and then buy these bolts. this is the seller i got my bolts from.

alright, thanks alot guys. anything negative that comes about from putting these on? like tire wear, or less traction for instance?

by the way Jnolte, what are you charging for your spacers?
