If you're looking to buy a wheel spacer, hubcentric is the way to go so that the wheel mounts properly.

20mm is a pretty aggressive spacer and for a daily driver will prove to be harsh on your wheel bearings.

I have hubcentric 25mm wheel spacers

Mine are built by Eibach and they are a different design. Mine don't require longer studs. The spacer goes onto the hub and is bolted down with the included low profile lugnuts. The spacer itself then has lug bolts that your wheel is mounted on and you use your original lugnuts to secure the wheel.

Sorry yazmo, I don't have a picture at the moment to help explain.

One thing to be SURE of is you need to find out exactly what kind of aluminum is used. It is not enough that they say 'it is very strong'. They will always say that, and I doubt they have a warranty that will cover your car and your health if something happens.

I put my spacers on back in May, but with 17" wheels they just didn't fit so I took them off.

I plan to use them when I put my winter wheels on.

they are hubcentric

they came with the studs pressed in

they came with nuts that go on the hub studs

so you use your lugnuts to go on the spacer studs

heh, today was the first time I used them, but... it was with different wheels and tires and in snow

so I didn't notice a difference based on the spacers

I had already rolled my fenders to get my 17x7s in there, but the rear passenger fender needed a tad more.... other three corners were fine

also remember that I am about an inch and a half lower than stock

Sweeeeeet. I'm lowered about the same amount with 17x8's and 235/40's. I think this is just what I need to completely fill out the wheel wells.

I was wondering the same thing. A legacy...snow...intersection....basebal bat? WTF!

Then it made me think of this video which is pretty funny. There's a baseball bat at the end of the video.

You can roll fenders with a baseball bat?

My opinion... take it to a shop that will do it, or rent a real roller and do it yourself.

No, it is. He did what's called 'flaring' when he rolled the fenders.

*update*

when I added a passenger there was rubbing on all four corners during any loading of the suspension

I will see if the body can be adjusted to accommodate, but I may need to take these off.
