Has anyone installed H&R hubcentric spacers?

Has anyone installed H&R hub-centric spacers? I like how the OEM 18s look but would like to see them poke out a little further.

I am interested as well...I am considering taking the 18'' rims from my Subaru and putting them on the RDX. The offset will be off though...

Any links for purchasing the spacers?

The bigger web/mailorder places like Tire Rack sell them or just go on ebay. The problem you may encounter is you really shouldn't push them out any more than 2MM or maybe 3MM at most. The lug studs will be too short (you won't get enough in the lug nut to be safe)(actually, I wouldn't use any spacer without longer studs). To do it right, you really need longer studs (probably not a DIY job)(an upside to the lug bolts that the Germans use; easier to just go to a longer lug bolt when using spacers).

Unless they're from a post 05 WRX STi, they won't fit (bolt pattern for
all late model Subaru's, including the STi through 05, is 5x100 where the RDX is 5x114.3).

Yes....need longer wheel bolts. The H&R spacers are hub-centric meaning the spacer where it mates will have the hub lip machined so it will "hang/slip" onto the rotor and the spacer will have a lip so that the wheel can "hang/slip" onto.
