Hello guys.
I think to buy pair of Precision European Motorwerks spacers for 60$. What do you guys think? here's the link. http://www.amazon.com/Hubcentric-Spacers-C...erks+5X100+54.1 Is it a good deal? or they're not the safe? Any opinions? like what about a quality compared to ichiba or H&R spacers? Thanks This post has been edited by Red123: Apr 6, 2013 - 3:31 PM -------------------- |

Yeap. The reason why the front ones had to be drilled was because it was 20mm, if it was 25mm like your rear then you would've been fine. 25mm clears your whole stock stud while the 20mm is not thick enough to clear the stock studs. -------------------- |

First I was thinking to cut the studs of the spacers (couple of mms), but I was not sure how safe it would be. -------------------- |

I did it on my car and it's perfectly fine This post has been edited by mkernz22: May 15, 2013 - 11:26 PM |
