so did anyone put them on for the oem 18s? pics?? im still interested in getting it for my car. thanks

 

do a search for wheel spacers.

 

i know of the threads but they sort of just died without anyone really posting up pics of anything, so that is why i started up this thread

 

Here are some pics of my car after installation of custom-made spacers (17mm rears, 12 mm fronts). No rubbing, stock tires/wheels, Eibach pro-kit...

So this puts your offset front & rear at +33, right? Looks great!

 

Did you have to get extended lugs and spindles javyLSU?

 

wow that looks REALY good. how much and can u hook me up with that guy also so i can order some.

 

Thanks for the compliments everyone!
Yeah, I did have to get extended wheel studs. I sprung for some good ARP bolts, set of all 20 cost me $85. The guy that made them for me I mentioned about halfway down in page 4 of the original "wheel spacers" thread I posted some time back here.

How is the driving? Do you have vibration?

 

Were the rear lug studs difficult to replace?

 

I have absolutely NO vibration whatsoever - this was a tremendous piece of advice I picked up here (to get hub and wheel centric adapters). The rear studs are a bit more difficult to replace than the fronts, mainly because it requires removal of the brake caliper assembly and rotor. Once you remove that, it's just like the front. One word of caution, though - the rears won't take a stud that's longer than about 2.5 inches, becuase there's no room behind the studs to fit them. The extended studs I bought had to be cut so they would fit without me having to take the entire rear axle off...
