New wheel/spacer installation
So I finally got the H&R spacers today. I ordered 5mm, but it said 10mm on the bar code on the box... They are really thin though. Maybe as thick as 3 U.S. Quarters stacked on top of eachother. Anyway, I already installed the rear wheels this morning so they were on. The H&R package came with longer wheel studs, but for the heck of it and being excited like I was I just used the stock wheel studs. They were shorter obviously with the spacers on, but everything seemed to work just fine. Torqued the lugs and everything seems good, so i dropped her down, almost wet myself because it looks so good and rolled it out of the garage. I haven't driven it yet, I figured I'd ask if I'm ok to drive it this way first...? This is probably asked all the time, but I'm just wondering. Thanks! Pics soon.

Trust me if you had a 10mm spacer you would not have enough bite for the lugnuts
They come with wheel studs 5mm longer
because it is so you remain oem spec

not really... it depends what your application is for
wheeladapter.com has a few different variations
1 pair of non hubcentric spacers $80 (may vibrate but for like a 3mm should be fine)
1 pair of hubcentric spacers $130 (works great with stock wheels)
1 pair of hubcentric and wheel centric spacers $170 (Ideal for those of us who rock aftermarket wheels)
