I'll make this quick.
you need the HR 15mm hubcentric studded spacers to do it properly. They will run around $240.00 or so shipped. If you're not willing to do this, then I suggest getting a different wheel.
I know of guys that just use the cheap spacers and you can do this too, but it's what it is, CHEAP.
You're looking at around $600.00 or so with the wheels.
If you want the spacers let me know and I'll send them to you right away.

still you are going to be putting extra strees on the wheel bearings and wheel studs. You will probably also need longer studs to make up for the spacer size. Otherwise your lugs won't go on ALL the way.

The HR's come hubcentric and studded so you don't need to replace your studs with longer ones. Actualy saves you money since you don't need to do the labor.
They will be hucentric to the FD wheel. Materials as well. HR are machined in Germany, can't go wrong with the Germans.
The cheap ones are just spacers which are not hubcentric and are not studded, so you need to remove the hub and add longer studs. Or you can get non-hubcentric studded spacers, which will still cost around $200.00 + shipping for the full set.
