Im just wondering if using that large of a spacer is smart idea btw the rims i like are here http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/f...5&rw=7&bp=5-100 |

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.

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... I need figure out the same problem... -------------------- No more replicas... This is evolution... This is SS-four :)

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