yeah most times you can buy a universal set, just make sure they are good quality. Some of the cheaper spacers are level(if you set them on a table flat you can see)


love the kit as well. Wish i could find that here.

Default spacers

Yea exactly, they are pretty much universal......

i think some may only fit 5 lug wheels, some fit 4, 6, etc

all you have to do is specify how many lugs you have and the spacing and they will provide the proper spacer, keep in mind you may have to use 1 or 2 spacers for each wheel to get the proper spacing you want to make the wheels look flush.

post some pics as you do it as a DIY so anybody else with the same deliemma can see what you did, its pretty self esplanitory once you get them and take your wheel off but you know how some people are

I have a question about the spacers.
In decemberI should be bringing the car back to the states and would be dropping the car's rear (just the way it was before). Would that result in the tires touching the fenders or would it be alright?

it should not be a major issue. you may get close to the fender, but I dont see you needing anything more than a fender roll to accomadate a 25mm spacer in the rear and 20 mm spacer in the front (25mm and 20mm spacers should be fine...) However, if you want to get the perfectly flush look, try to find somebody with a bunch of 3mm spacers, and gradually space them out till you get the width that you need. Then order a spacer accordingly. (thats how alot of guys decide on proper offsets for custom wheels.)

But like I said- with 25mm spacers in the rear and 20mm fronts- you should be fine- maybe a slight fender roll (you can rent a fender roller from tirerack.com.)

Default How does the fender roller work?

I always thought that it was one of those major body works that I had to take the car to the bodyt shop and have them roll the fenders or something, but from what you mentino that seems not to be the case.
