How big a spacer do you got on there to clear the new brakes? Those are the stock 16" wheels right?

Same question as above. How big is your spacer? I'm currently using 25mm spacers but am about to tone it down to 15mm. I only run my stocks during the winter and was hoping to swap to my 19"s soon. In fear of a blowout and having to run the spare, I want to know what size spacer will be needed to run LS brakes.

yes, it is stock wheels, you need 15mm spacer.

I assume you are running V1 style spacers with extended studs correct? The V2 style has bolts that do not sit flush within the spacer holes.

www. ichibausa.com it came with 10 long studs and 2 15mm spacers. And I had stoptech brake line to install but it didn't fit on to hard line so I'm going to return it and they are going to see if they can send me the right one.

Gottchya, you have Version 1's then (probably the safer set too). Are you running spacers in the rear too?

Version 1 has extended studs. You have to remove all of your existing studs and install the longer ones as you did. Version 2 has studs built into the spacer already. Visit the ichiba website and it will show you.
