Does the OEM rim have those little slots behind the wheel to clear the studs? I tried 20mm spacers with my aftermarket wheels but since the OEM studs protruded past the spacer, my wheel wouldn't mount at all since my wheel doesn't have those slots to clear the protruding studs. I was thinking to buy extended studs and spacers rather than spacers that mount to OEM studs with new studs to mount the wheel.
The slots I'm referring to are these (specifically top/bottom left): http://www.subispeed.com/images/ichiba-v2-wheel.jpg
Sorry if that's not the term for them. But yeah, I was just wondering if the OEM wheel had these to compensate for spacers or if your wheel studs protruded out farther than the spacers thickness.

Even my buddies Varrstoen wheels didn't have them either so he couldn't even use the spacers either! Thanks for the help!
Thanks for the reply. Believe it or not I really like the OEM S+ rims. Any chance you could post some pictures of your fenders @Ironfly11234 . I want to see how it looks with those size spacers. Thanks!
I purchased each one separately and I noticed the car get stiffer with each install. Hope that makes sense.
I also have a rear strut bar from UR and everyone has the TRD front strut bar, lol.
I really noticed the Megan bar up front when I installed it.
Yeah, they all help with overall handling.
The rear UR bar, is solid metal. Unlike everything else UR makes. It gives an extra mounting point for the shocks and ties to the rear axle assembly.

Chris, question. I'm thinking on putting spacers on my stock rims to make the stance little wider and possibly improve handling a bit. I think my stock aluminum rims that came on the premium are exactly what you had on your car before you swapped.
Do you know of any good spacer brands, best you can get and none from ebay or amazon? Also, do I go same width front and rear, if so 20mm or 25? I heard hubcentric bolt on is the way to go. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Because I replaced the rims, I never researched spacers. So I have no knowledge on them.
I'm sure someone in this forum is using them though.
As for hub centric, I'm thinking that applies to the center hub mounting point. I know I had to buy hub centric rings for my rims. I don't know if it's a brand name or not. Mine came from eBay, lol.
The inside of your rim should look like this
I believe those empty sections between the bolt holes are useful when using spacers.
Ask brothabear, I think he might be using spacers.
Sorry but that's all I got.
