Put the rims on first and see how much more you want the rims to tuck out. Make sure the tires won't rub the fenders when they go over bumps & dips. Also, make sure the wheel nuts have at least 7 turns or more to hold the rims. Less than that, longer wheel studs are mandatory.

Generic spacers will have a pretty big center hole, which does not center itself. Also most of those have generically sized holes for the lugs - while these are ok, sometimes they can have problems with cracking, or sitting off center and causing imbalance and vibration problems.
They are cheap though but this is another case of you get what you pay for.
I'll post some pictures in a little bit (if that's ok)
Once again also you really shouldn't go more than 5mm for a regular spacer, anything longer might have problems with not letting the hub fit up to the wheel, and also the problem of too short of studs. We have the longer studs though, around $2 each.

Todd (DoubleWhoosh) is anything but retarded- he's more helpful than almost anyone else you can find on this forum. But it's not his job to post pics for you, especially since if you did a gallery search, like I just did, you could easily see some before/after images of wheels with spacers (including a SC).
I'd post some of those spacer pics I just saw, but then, that's not my job, either.

Response to Comments
If you have a problem with another member's comments in a posted thread, do not respond with any further comments that will aggravate the situation. Reacting to a hostile post with more hostility puts you in jeopardy, and puts you at risk for action against your account even if it is another member’s fault. Members have two options of recourse:
1. Email the moderators of the forum in which the offensive comment is posted, directing them to the individual and thread in which the problem occurs. Use the "Notify a Moderator" button on the bottom of the offensive post to accomplish the same thing. Moderators will look into the issues and take the appropriate actions.
2. Resolve the problem between both of you via email or Private Message (PM).
Personal Attacks
While we encourage lively debates and discussions, we will not tolerate personal attacks of any kind. Any person attacking another forum member will receive a warning and have their offenses removed. One more offense and the offending member will be permanently suspended from ClubLexus.
We do not allow personal attacks on fellow members. Todd is not only a fellow member but also a CL approved vendor. He has done nothing but help numerous members on CL. If you want clarification on the products, just ask him. There is no need to alienate him and then call him names.
If you have questions, feel free to PM me. Otherwise, let's get back on the topic of spacers.
