do 20mm bolt on spacers work fine on the front with no rubbing inside of wheels??

I tried bolt on 15mm front and they ruined my wheels.........

wdkwang

i would say you'd have a problem with rubbing if you were dropped enough but i'm not dropped so everything is good so far. my guess is that your front wheels were ruined due to an oversized tire? a taller sidewall means less clearance.
some people are saying that, due to the spacers, the front tires will rub this small thing sticking out of the fender liner but to me it's whatever. it's just plastic.

i've read around that 15mm and 20mm don't work. they hit the inside of the wheel. i guess 25mm works though.

i think hes talking about the studs hitting the back of the wheel

um. i believe it comes down to proper installation. it was quite straightforward with the boltons. torque it down with a impact gun or torque wrench, and then retorque it again after a few days.
i only went with 25mm in the front because i wasn't finding the pictures of people's 20mm spacers flush enough.

yeah bolt on 15 mm type spacers won't work on the front because the oem studs will hit the back of the wheel

scottnismo

so r u guys saying 20mm or 25mm bolt on spacers work fine and dont need to replace stock studs?

pedZ

With 20mm bolt-on spacers on the front, the factory studs will still touch the wheel a little bit and make a slight indentation in the wheel when torqued down. Some people are fine with that and use them anyways. You will not have this issue if you use the 25mm bolt-on spacers.

You can always trim the excess off of the studs. Just make sure you put a lug nut on, thread it all the way down, and THEN cut. When you remove the lug nut, do it slowly and it'll straighten out any threads that are messed up.

Or you could just run slip-on spacers with extended studs. It's really easy to swap studs. The only extra tool you need compared to bolt-on spacers is a hammer.

but here's a thought in the meantime:
if you want a flush look with a tiny bit of poke, then go 25s all around
if you want a pretty close to flush look then go 20s all around
in my opinion, the people who are running the 20/25 setup have a slight poke in the rear, just like i do and obviously like it. running 25s in the front would give you the same amount of poke as the rear. no pun intended.
otherwise, blow the $2-4k on proper offset wheels. i'd personally get 19x10.5-11 and 19x12. 275/315 tires
