wheel spacers recommendation for 2000 S

[alexc0814]

Don't get the cheap ones from amazon. I have 20mm all around, and when I went to motorsport hardware to get wheel studs installed, Cecil noticed that my spacers were lipped, and only the very edge of the lip was contacting the hub, so I just got some new spacers from him there while I was there.

I'm on 18 inch turbo twists, and 20mm all around is no problem. Almost wish I went a little more in the front for appearance, but this looks good.

Also- based on my research at the time, the only appropriate wheel bolts were $2-300 for a set. That's why I had studs installed, since it actually ended up being a little cheaper with both parts and labor vs parts alone for new wheel bolts.

Are you lowered also or stock ride height? I'm looking at 15Frt/20Rr but would go 20/20 based on your testing. No fender rubbing I'm assuming.

Lowered on H&R springs. I think there's maybe very slight rubbing at full lock, but my car usually stalls at full lock with the ac on anyway lol

edit: sounds like you could just swap out your back spacers onto your front wheels to test it out if you had any doubts, though

Thanks by chance do you have a link to the studs? assuming they are silver, i see so many black ones.

Sorry, I actually don't. The guy who lowered my car recommended me to Cecil at motorsport hardware in huntington beach, and I live pretty close by so I just went over there without asking about the specific product. I'm sure if you give them a call on the phone number on their website (I don't know if I can post that here) that he would sort you out with the right kit. I think they might be black, I'd have to take a look, haven't needed to pull the wheels since I got it installed.
