Default Questions about Installing Spacers

I just got my set of Ichiba Spacers (15mm F and 20mm R). Does anyone have DIY on the installation? Also, does anyone know if it will be detrimental to my car to install the spacers? As in, what could happen to the car if something did go wrong? Thanks

^ If you are not going to be helpful don't post at all.

Try looking at this post. It's not a DIY, but it could be helpful.

not detrimental unless it somehow falls off. If it falls off then your rims are gonna fly off. If you install it within specs i think you'll be ok. To install it you just have to take off your wheels and then put the spacers on and where there's a groove you install the lugs they gave you and then you put your tires back on and put them on with the extended screws are (the gold ones) and you're done

technically you should align... although I dun think it really matters. If you have the time to go there make an appointment and get it done then might as well but then if your car is pretty much aligned / stock then i dun think it'll make a big improvement.
