very few people here seem to use spacers, but they are very common in the domestic and truck market.

i thought about getting some for my car, but always put it off. part of me, dosnt like the idea of a large spacer that has to bolt on to your existing lug nuts. but i have talked to a few people that have used them for years without problems.

if u buy them, only get H&R hubcentric spacers.

some spacers (like mine) come with longer lugs which is a better idea, IMO.

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.
