15mm DRM front spacers don't fit?

Maybe I'm totally missing something, I hope I am, but do 15mm bolt on spacers not work with the front stock sport rims? I just tried to put the H&R

I just tried to put the H&R spacers on today, and the small nuts to tighten the spacer to the rotor stuck out too much for the wheels to sit flush against the spacers face. Did I do something wrong? The 20 mm rear ones went on fine... Been searching for a while and haven't found much on it specifically...

I thought I heard that 15 works fine for front if your wheels have the grooves/dent on the back where it mounts to the hub, otherwise you need 20.

Yeah, I guess I thought the grooves in the stock ones would work for 15mm, but maybe not?

^this. Anything under 20 on front and you have to use DRS style. the stud replacement style. Unless you have some crazy large gapping like varrstoens do then you can use DRM but 90% will require you to use DRS under 20.
wheee! likes this.

Awesome, thanks guys. Yeah, I read a number of threads with people installing 15 DRS, not DRM, and now i know that this is why. Thanks!

Jesus man. 15mm bolt ons do not work. 20mm do.

the spacers some in sets of 2. the price is for the pair.

i suggest bolt-on H&R 20mm front/25mm rear if you want an aggressive (but non rubbing) setup.

Its known 15mm DRM spacers do not work on the front. Plain and simple. That's why I laughed.
