Can you link to the other post as I couldn't find it? Was looking at ECS but no 15MM with bolt sets in silver only HR which seem too expensive. like $350

Looking spot on... hopefully you bought same 20mm for front as they can easily use same if not a smidge more than rear...

Good luck

No ****************, Dick Tracy. All this talk about rubbing, and you've got inches. I could fit 6 of my dicks in there.

My question was general in that you've a ****************ing grand canyon between your wheels and the lip. Who in their right ****************ing mind would not see that and still ask about rubbing? Or even mention the absence of it. Am I ****************ing missing something here?

Please read carefully? I read for a ****************ing living.**************** off.

You're from Seattle? I'm sorry. I'll try to speak slower next time.

Have a nice day.

Yes, you are missing something, I was simply responding to the question from "ShortRound " as to if there was any rubbing. Perhaps you should be venting your frustration to "ShortRound" he asked the question.
Sorry, I did not intend to question your intelligence or manhood.

Thanks!

Rubbing? Where? You've got about 10 feet of space there. I'm confused. Rubbing?

I have the 18" wheels.


I would not use regular spacers and longer bolts for 20mm or wider. You can get hub centric spacers that use your stock bolts with lugs and nuts to attach your wheels. They aren’t cheap, but shouldn’t wear out your wheel bearings so fast.
