Picking the right wheel spacers, which one to choose? Options

[808celica]

Just got word that FatLace/HellaFlush might be having HellaFlush 4 in Hawaii. I've been putting off getting wheel spacers with the hubcentric ring (not the knock off ones with no hub ring) for a very long time. First i was gonna get them for the GTS rims. Now I'm running my 18's daily, so which one should I get? Both are hubcentric for 54.1 centerbore on the celica. Version 1 comes with extended studs that you put in place of your stock ones. Or version 2 that has studs in the spacer itself and special gold nuts that fasten down your stock studs. V.2 seems to be the easier one to install, V. 1 seems to be safer cuz it's 1 lond stud. I'm only showing the brand Ichiba because they're the only one that's certain to have the extended studs for v.1 (hubcentric) or what v.2 has(lug centric).

sooo.........here's version 1

and version 2

which one?? Now for the last question what size?? 10mm, 15mm or 20mm. I have 5mm rings that make the rim......so so. Should I get the 10mm and try it out first then go 15mm if I don't like it? or go straight the 15mm and camber the heck out of wheels to be somewhat within safety check Either way I HAVE TO raise the car a little in order to stay within Hawaii's Road law "Rim diameter can be any size, but it must be inside of the wheel well."


and yes i did read this:

haha my recon sticker is kinda legit for some of the things i have on the car XD never went back and got it updated, that's why the car rarely leaves the Kahuku to Kaneohe/ Kahuku to Haleiwa areas. If I get tagged then they can impound my car or just right me a FAAAAAAAATTT ticket

any mod to suspension requires recon (in Oahu, Hawaii)

Rims are allowed if they're 2in" above stock size, any bigger you need recon. Also rims must be inside of the fender, they cant sick out. You must pass the 2in bounce test on the suspension, so if you have full coils dont make the setting stiff just yet
Tint, need recon, but 2dr cars cant have tint what so ever. 4drs and vans can go limo dark if they want. its up to the recon inspection to deem pass or fail.
Exhaust/Intake doesnt need recon cuz we dont have smog/emission tests
Engine swaps dont need recon if you're staying with the same # of cylinders it can with. i.e. 5s = 4cyl so you can drop in the 3sgte. if you do a v6 swap then most definitely you need recon.
Body kits.......well some say you dont need and some say you need, as long as you have the crash bar you should be okay. IMO bodykits dont apply to recon. Same goes for spoilers
C/F hoods you need the hood pins.

When you make an appointment for recon, you must have a recent alignment print out (especially when going for drop) and you must disclose all mods done to the car. Of course........you dont have to tell them everything, just the stuff you want on your recon sheet.

I forgot the height requirement for the center of the headlight, IIRC it was 22inches from the ground. Also no clear aftermarket lights, you wont pass period. It all depends on the stupid recon inspector, if he like you (which he should cuz you dont seem like the usual.......what do they call it now?? Intimidating kid/teen/young adult). If he's having a bad day, make sure you make it easy for them when they check your car
