Am running 20mm spacer right now and is great, but i have stock 18s so it will work just fine. All depend on what wheels you use and offset.

I use B2Autodesign spacer and work great.

I have the stock 09 wheels all . Its all stock. The rear tires are 255 . And the h&r spacers with extented are safer than the adapter ones .

I run eBay 20mm spacers with extended studs on the rear and 15mm up front. Stock 18" wheels and tire size on Pilot Super Sports. No issues.
Just make sure you have torque your wheels to factory spec (for my 06, it's 76ft/lb) and check on the spacers periodically for any signs of cracking. And on top of that, make sure the studs are the same material as the factory studs, which I believe are 10.9 grade.

Extended studs are the way to go. Studs on spacer adapters seem prone to breaking sooner imho.

Ok thanks. I was thinking 15mm would rub on the front since most people on here said that on other forums. But i will try and see. Because h&r doesnt offer 10mm

Yeah, I am aware of the whole "eBay sucks" deal. Took into account the safest route and found a cheaper alternative. Was looking at Ichiba's V1's originally, but the ones I got are essentially the same at half the price - correct me if I'm wrong.

I ran Ichiba V1s. They cracked a year in. V2s are known to be better.

No spacer is best, but if your application needs spacers just dont over torque and use lots of anti sieze

I agree. What was your driving style? I don't like the concept of V2's.
No anti-seize is used for mine.
