I orddered 20mm for the rear and 5 front. You dont want the ones that bolt on and then they have studs built in. They are on national backorder though. The container shipment comes in in 1-2 weeks.

The set up I mentioned brings the rear track (much narrower than the front) out to about equal. Somebody posted pics recently. I will link it if I can find it.

Hey. I have installed the wheel spacer and I can honestly say WOW. These were well worth it. I have the 20 mm H&R wheel spacers in the back and i took comparison pics of another 2k2 next to mine . Here are pics of it.

Can you please explain what you meant by that? I was planning on getting the wheel spacers myself. But what you mean don't want the ones that bolt on? On the link he provided us with the H&R spacers, they look like they're bolt on. Oh and 20mm spacers, are they safe? If i put 3 people on the back seat, would they rub? Any sort of problems?

Is there any other site that has these spacers for cheaper?

Sam.

I could not find cheaper

Yeah that type on that page are the ones you want and they'sandwich' between the rotor hub and the wheel

They have another type that you dont want. Those bolt to the rotor. t

what he's trying to say is that the ones you want require you to install longer lugs into your hub.....that's the hard part.

also, you need hub-centric spacers.

Hey guys. Yeah Our cars do require hub-centric like irish44j said. The wheel spacer is just a piece of metal that will go inbetween the rotor and wheel while still using your pre-existing lugs (or having to punch out your old ones and put in longer ones.) Next week I will hopefully post a full writeup on installing the wheel spacers. I have had 2 full guys in the rear and a girl and a guy and a girl in the trunk of my car and the wheels didnt rub. Now these are stock wheels with Toyo PRoxies 4 235/45/17 (I know not recommended for the car but they look great.) I will be checking clearance for putting on illuminas and and tein H-techs in the future.
