Wheel Spacers

Ok, so now that I have seen how much difference a few mm of spacers can make on the stance of our cars, I want some.

Is there a "go to" brand for our cars? I have never bought them before, so if there anything to beware of? Rookie mistakes to avoid?

rookie mistake is not getting longer bolts with the corresponding spacer size. I use H&R

Check - buy good quality (planned to anyway) and make sure and get longer bolts. Anything else I need to buy to make this work? I plan to do 15mm in the front and 20mm in the rear as I saw a car with my exact wheels with this set up and it looked perfect to me. Nothing else needed?

i have macht schnell spacers, and they're fine.

along with extended bolts, also make sure that they're hub-centric. spacers under 8mm may not have hub centric lips (too skinny).

And great customer service. Contacted me right away to tell me that they were out of stock and offer me a chance to change. Shipped the others out right away anyway. Great customer service.
