I just order a pair of H&R 15mm for my rear wheels and while back JavyLSU posted that the calipers and rotor would have to be removed to install them. Has anyone installed spacers in the rear without having to do that?

To just install a spacer you don't have to remove the rotors. However, I believe the H&R 15mm comes with extended stud bolts. This is required when you use a thicker spacers as you will not have enough length on the stock lug to accommodate the lug nuts. A general rule of thumb is you need at least 6 full turns of the lug nut before you torque it down. Anyway, in order to install the longer studs that come with the H&R spacer you will have to remove the caliper, rotor, and on some cars even the hub to press out the old studs and press in the new ones.

It was really easy replacing the studs on the front. All I removed was the wheels, but I'm sure I could have replaced them with the wheels on if I really wanted to. I thought someone reported that the rears were just as easy.
