good question, i was going to ask the same thing after seeing the two on optionautos site. btw outmaxxed when you decided on 15mm is it because 20mm pushed out the VR's too far and 15mm is the closest we can come to it being flush?

Not sure, I believe, you wuld need different wheel nuts for the 12.85 shoulders, but I just went with what H&R lists, but bought from Options for obvious reasons:

Fill the the "year" box etc

Well it seems the Kics are Hubcentric after all, but I'd still go with H&R and replace the studs IMO:

In March 21? I would get my money back, and find a better deal. Well if you're not in a real hurry then it's all good I guess. But I think that's way too long.

Unless someone actually has stock which isn't very likely they are probably back ordered from H&R I know they were when I got my first set and no else had them, Options is one of the few sellers that actually carried stock (volume) probably why they sell cheaper than ebay!

Sorry to hear that OutMaxxed, I may just have a set available before that date depends on when my 4th gen sells, long story I won't bore you with the details but I'll keep you in mind and let you know if I do. Basically I have two sets, one new and one on my 4th gen, if I strip my 4th gen back to stock I'll be able to sell the new set as I only need one set for the rears on my 5th gen.

In additon to the offset, the rim width is also needed to determine what spacers will fit the best.

HELL yeah it was cold ..shiET.... I got tehm on and i was lookin at it after i put them on and notised the right side(while lookin at it from the front of the car) sits in more than my left. I looked at where the mud gaurd to see where it stuck out. My max leans on its left for some dag gome reason. so my driver side rear sits low. I noticed it a couple months ago when i let my friend drive my car and looked at mine from behind. I havent figured out why it sits like that yet, im thinkin the struts? It sat like that before i dropped it on maxspeeds. any one know what it is?
Anyway, ill TRY to get pics tomorrow, Its freaggin COLD up here in New Joisey...

Man, Why doesn't H&R make 10mm spacers? I have the 15's and I get rubbing on the right rear tire during hard cornering.

They dont make 10mm because they wouldnt be able to make them hubcentric.

Yeah i figured that out a few months ago while reading a thread on the center beam.. actually i think it was u who said it in the thread.

They make 5mm spacers that you can double up if you need to. But if you are only rubbing on the right then it is proabably the problem with the uncentered beam.

Anyone have spacers on with 20 x8.5? I think I need to get some for the rears. Do you measure from the rotor to get the length? Thanx

Found a pretty good fit with the Eibach Pro spacers. They're only 5mm but worked well for my setup.

my 02 max is stock. will 20mm spacers be good?

Wow this is an old thread. Yes 20mm will be fine. But they will make the rears sit farther out than the fronts. 15mm will make them even.

What if you got 5mm for the front and 20mm for the back? Would it sit more flush orr is it not worth it? Save some money and just get 15mm for the back? I'm talking about stock rims on an 03 SE. Anyone have pictures of an 03 with stock rims and spacers? If so, what size did you end up using?
Thank you

You could do the 5 and 20 like you said, its been done before and looks good. I was using 15mm spacer on the stock SE wheels but don't have any pics as I just put the rims in my sig back on still with the spacers.
