Idk...my understanding the 2012+ are winder why would u want 20mm spacers. I think the question has been answered already 15mm is the way to go.

So, I got a front / rear set of 15mm B2Designs Spacers but my wheel will not recede on to the hub... My oem studs will have to be grinded down in order for the wheels to fit on.

Would it be bad to grind them down (weaken the studs) or should I just sell the 15mm spacers to get 20mm all around?

Anyone with 20mm have this problem?

I think you have the adapter type. For safety, you should just order the H&R hubcentric spacers. Unlikely, but it is possible that your wheel will fly off.

Sorry to add to an old thread, but I didn't see too many examples of 12'+ wheels with spacers. Here's mine on 20mm all around, stock 225's up front & 265's in the rear. Very slight rubbing in the rear only over big bumps.

You'll love them, plus you've got the 08-09 wheels so you shouldn't have any rubbing issues even if you lower it. Here's better pics of the flushness:

Sorry to bump such an old thread guys. But is there a preferred vendor that sells the H&R 15mm spacers with studs? Also if I could buy Swift springs from the same place that would be great!

X2.
Will 15mm spacers all the way around give me any rubbing with the stock '12 wheels and 245/275 rubber? Lowered on swift springs currently.
