Wheel spacers

Ok, I am trying to post a pic of my wheel spacers, now how the heck do I do it? Does the image need to be on-line or can I upload it from my camera?

...uploaded from your camera.

Set up a web page at cardomain.com. Then upload your images, then right click on the image once it is uploaded and paste it into the thread with the IMG button.

Can you give the specifics? Rear = H&R 20mm Anything on the front? Longer lugs?

Oh, your alarm system is awesome. That dog looks bad a$$...with the 'red eye' of the camera he looks like the devil!

With the 20mm rear spacers, H&R provides new lug bolts that need to be pressed into the rear hubs. Not super hard to do, takes about 1 hour. If you decide to get them, make sure they send you the right thread pitch on the studs. I think the thread pitch is like 1.25. No spacers of any kind on the fronts. I am debating on the 5mm ones, but for 59 bux, I may do without them. I don't think I really need them with the 8" wide rims.

As far as the "alarm" goes, I'll have to get the other one to sit still for a photo too. The pair of them are quite intimidating, but are real pussycats at heart.

Thanks. But a few more questions if you don't mind...What's involved in "Pressing" the rear bolts? And getting the old ones out? Also, do you need new lug nuts?

spta97, it isn't really that bad. You need to remove the rear wheels. Then pull off the rear calipers and rotors. Then you remove the cap that covers the center hub nut and remove the nut and hub. I forget what size socket fits it, but it's big. With the hub off, you tap the old studs out with a hammer. To install the new studs, it will be easier to have someone hold the hub while you hammer the new studs in. I used a 3/8" socket extension as a punch with a hammer to install the new studs. Reassemble the parts and slip on the spacers. Your factory lug nuts go back on. Hope this helps a bit.
