DIY Installing 20mm spacers for the rear-front to come next weekend
ok guys....spent about 3 hours and finally got the rear spacers on...tidious job but fun. Even got the wife to help out. lol
First thing first...jack up your car, and take the tires off...if you can't do it, then i don't think you'll able to do this.
Now take off the brake calipers with a 14mm socket wrench. Here's a shot of the screw behind the caliper.
A look from the top.
ahhh gotta admire the brembo brakes
yes I cleaned it when I put every thing back.
Once you take off the two screws then, just pull out the caliper. It should slide out easily.
Make sure your E-Brakes are not engaged....that way you can gently swivel the rotors out easily....
Once the rotor is off, just get a hammer and pound the original studs out.
Here's the original stud and the extended stud side by side comparison.

Now replace the original studs with the extended ones and start putting things back together again.

Once its back on, put the spacers on and you're ready to roll

Nevermind, I was just looking at the one pic you had from the back and it looked like the tire actually stuck out of the fender, but all the other pics it looks great. Maybe it is just the angle.
Finally somebody listened to me and installed some spacers. Makes the car look a lot meaner.
