i am keeping everything stock, i just want to bump out the wheels and get slightly wider tires. originally i was planning on murdering it out so i limo tinted the back windows (we aren't allowed to tint the front door windows in cali), but i love the way she looks and rides as-is. thanks for the info

you have plenty of room to go wider but 25mm is as big of a spacer as i am really comfortable with (although i have run larger).
i recommend h&r (hubcentric to each app.). ebay is usually the place to get the best price on these, or maybe a cl vendor. i do not recommend off brand since you never know what you are going to get quality wise (although i have had some no-names of decent quality). i would also stay away from ichiba since they are known for having weak studs. project kics are good but expensive and you have to buy 2 pieces for hubcentricity (word?). eibach would be my second choice behind h&r.

it's been mentioned multiple times online but the final word was when someone i know personally decided not to install the replacment studs when he noticed they were significantly softer than oem. up until then they were on my "reputable" list, but better safe than sorry imo.
