according to the offset wheel guide a 7" rim should have a total offset of 26 so i figure that a 20mm spacer would be cool. Im just wondering if using that large of a spacer is smart idea

btw the rims i like are here

You should be ok as long as you have enough thread left to bolt the wheels on, although 5 stud so should be fairly safe with losing some thread.

Having 15mm in front and 20mm in the rear both from H&R. Excellent quality.

That's the problem... rear bolts are 28mm and front bolts 25mm -> You don't have chance use 20mm spacers without:

a) change bolts to longer ones (but how?)
b) use spacers with own bolts like those...

H&R DRS series come with new wheelbolt so you have longer bolts. Its the safest way to install the spacers.

I also want spacers, they look pricey but these are the ones I will buy.

H&R DRS 15mm is $120 for the pair
H&R DRS 20mm is $120 for the pair

Should I use 15mm in the front and 20mm in the rear?
