YOU need a 1/2 inch spacer in the front. You can get by with the more common one 1/4 inch spacer and one 6mm spacer.

I think the rears fit just right.

K2RD had a link about this "swap", but now its gone
I think they had a table with all the necessary spacers for various rim/tire widths....

You need 25mm (1 inch) H&R spacers all the way around.

If you put them on the front and not the back, your car won't track right.

These spacers are made out of billet aluminum and aren't your typical spacers. They come with their own studs and you bolt them on to the hub, then mount your tire on the spacer.

I use 25mm h&r spacers but I saw another guy in my club use 5/8 inch mr gasket spacer in the fronts and they work. Well at least they make the fit, a tight fit but seems to work.

Hi....Damn ....140 bucks for spacers? That seems expensive to me.....Can I get some at a Discount Auto or something. Thanx for the input, I've seen the wheels on a 2nd gen and it looks cool.

1" (or 25mm) spacers are the easiest to obtain and install at this point.&nbsp I've heard of some people running thinner spaces, but this has a lot to do with what kinda tire (i.e. size) you're running.

I'm still moving all the K2RD info over to my new website, so sit tight!
