I have a '15 fsport with the tanabe lowering springs and have 15mm spacers in the front and 20mm in the rear. Went with the H & R hub centric spacers which have been great. Very high quality spacer that works perfectly.

I don’t recommend use spacers on the car, I don’t know if anyone ever have a seized problem before or not? But I bought a set of B2 design spacers 15mm+ and 20mm+ off a nember here on the forgum, after installed for one year and decided yo remove them to a brake rotors change. Oh man those nuts are seized, they are not rusted, but they seized due to the weight of the car seat and compress or the nuts made too soft? But or the nuts got stripped when i try to remove and i have to cut the wheels stubs off to able to remove the spacers

Get a set of H&R spacers with extended studs. Apply little anti seize on the back of the spacer and you avoid the issuie you had.

Yeah the bolt on spacers sound like a bad idea.
