ARD T2 wrote this to me:

"I don't think you would have any problems with the use of "H & R hubcentric spacers, with studs built in". This is the best type of spacer to use, if need be, because you bolt the spacer to the hub and the spacer to the wheel. This way you will not have to worry about getting longer studs for your hub, or the fact that your lugnuts will not get a complete grip on the factory stud.

In any case, they come in 5, 15, and 25 mm spacers. Since the stock FD wheel is 8" and +50mm offset, I would suggest using the 15mm spacer for the front and rear. Then, if lowered, I would stagger a 225/45 16 in the front and a 245/45 on the rear. This should work fine, If you think it will rub then run a 205/55 up front or 215/45.

The price of these spacers is $139.95 to 109.95 list or some ****. I know the price for the 15's because I just ordered a set for another FC w/ FD's. Remember that this is just for a pair, the price for the "+15mm hubcentric spacer w/studs" is $105.00 + shipping and any applicable taxes that may apply. If you're out of Cali you have nothing to worry about. "



I hope that helps, Chris

I don't suppose you have a number or e-mail adress for this H&R do you?

I have a brand new set of 225/50/16s and 245/50/16s i was thinking about putting on it. Hope they don't rub.

Thanks, CJ

I was thinking of doing this also, but would it effect racing. If you mounted strip/street rubber would it hold up fine with the spacers and all?
