    Thumbs up Possibly quite dumb question.

    Ok so a guy offered to sell me his H&R 10mm spacers for $50. My rims are 18X8 so putting that offset for the rear wheel would be nice. However my very stupid question is (I dont know much about spacers) do I have to get longer bolts? And if i do, where would i get them? haha :embarr:

    Personally, I think the 15mm spacers are a better fit. I also have 18x8 wheels and they are ET38. I probably could have gotten away with 20mm, but i didnt want to get new bolts. You need to make sure you have exactly 15mm of thread left on the bolt when the bolt is inside the wheel. Too long and they will hit the ebrake components inside. I got my pair off ebay for $80 shipped overnight.
