H & R spacers FTW!!!! It all depends on the rims you have that way the spacer's center hub will fit. If your going for spacers all around go 5mm thicker in the rear. I went 10mm all around the first time and it didn't look right. The front looked like they were sticking out a bit more than the rear. How wide are your rims?

I'm thinking of doing spacers myself, but apparently I'd need to get new spacers when I jump to aftermarket rims due to bolt type? Or can I just get new bolts? I'd order at the same time just to make sure I had them...

I have 8.5" wide wheels and runnin 20mm H&R's which gives you the stance you are looking for. It looks righteous, but if u ever carry passengers in the rear the tires will rub with the fender.

Note: this will even happen with stock suspension.
