Guys, I want to get my stock rims pushed out much further to the wheel well corners as I can, since the stock rims are 40mm offset, I want to get 30~ish. I was studying car parts.com and they have so many different types of H&R wheel spacers to choose from I have no idea which one to use, or what I need. Supposely there all supplied with nuts, bolts, for what we need to mount them, the question is HOW do they work? This is another good thing for brake upgrades later. Anyone done this yet on there 5th gen with wheel spacers?

I put a set on my rear wheels to space them out. One
drawback: You may experience a slight vibration coming
from the back. This is because of the wheels spacers.
When you get your wheels/tires balanced their fine, but
when you add a non-balanced wheel spacer it makes the
rear wheels off balance. So I took them off.

FYI

need more suggestions.....

I'm considering the wheel spacer too...especially for the rear wheels, which I hate that "push-in" looks. Anymore suggestions?

Shouldn't you get longer studs to make up for the spacers' thickness? Let's say you get a 10mm, then there's 10mm less thread to work with.
