Thanks.

Why do you want spacers....

10mm in the back and 5mm in the front. After that you'll need longer studs unless you get some ET lug nuts.

Oh.. you just want a wider stance? I'm guessing thats what you mean by alternatives... I have an extra set of 5mm (2) spacers I'll sell you if you want.

Don't listen to all the spacer haters, if you buy quality hub-centric spacers you shouldn't have a problem. You should be able to go with 15mm in front and 20mm in back. Eibach and Project Kics are a couple of brands that come to mind. 15mm and up usually have lugs built in to them so you don't have to replace your's with longer ones.

nothing wrong at all with hubcentric spacers. eibach/kics/h&r/tc-sportline are all reputable brands. then again... how hard is it to make a piece of metal with studs sticking out?

You can run negative offsets on the stock (or any x8) wheel on rolled fenders.

if you could read, i clearly stated on an 8" width wheel. on a 10", I could fit a +10 offset or lower.
