No, they are 15mm, but it looks like the 20mm will work without a problem.

Default did anyone install these?

Just wondering if anyone installed 20mm spacers all around? how about 20's upfront and 25's in the back?

Besides the look, do these improve the handling of the car?

Im thinking of getting the Project Kics 20mm spacers all around, but wanted to know if hubcentric rings are necessary when spacing out the wheels on this car. I want to be safe rather than sorry and not worried to spend extra to get it done right.

Anyone running the Kics with hubcentric rings out there ?

Any particular reason for choosing these? they won't work on the front wheels. YOu can only use Adapter style spacers on the rear due to the wheel design and the protruding studs.

Hubcentric is important....Think about the Ichiba spacers instead (for the rear anyway). Lots cheaper and the hubring is included. Add Hubrings to the Kics and you have a VERY expensive set-up. Ultimately it is better to put in longer studs and use standard spacers which are cheaper still Several how-to's are in the DIY section

Ichiba:


Kics:



More spacer install pics including some showing the stud issue:

you definitely need hubcentric rings with out wheels. The wheels are not lug centric, so the rings are absolutely required.
