Right now I am running 15mm H&R spacers on my rears with my stock Style M351 wheels. I love the look, but I can't find a manufacturer that makes extended bolt locks that can accommodate 15mm spacers. I have spoken to RAD, but their longest bolt locks can only accommodate a 12mm spacer. Not sure if I am just being paranoid, but I am from the old school when your wheels would get stolen eventually if you didn't have wheel locks. What do you guys think? Should I sacrifice the 3mm for piece of mind? Not saying that wheels locks will absolutely prevent wheel theft, but anything that slows them down helps. RAD can also put a custom wheel lock set together for me that has shortened bolts for the front as well so that I am not running mis match locks.

I have 15mm spacers also. Same issue. I just ordered these.

Can you take some pics and provide some feedback once you receive them? They look like a viable solution to our issue. Thanks for posting!

Will do. I'm hoping they won't be TOO noticeable. Keeping my fingers crossed. My thinking is it's better then trimming down the stance or getting my rims swiped.

I think these will work if the 43 means 43mm length

I bought my locking bolts from here http://www.performancealloys.com/loc...eel-bolts.aspx

Also using 15mm spacers on rear wheels (and 10 on fronts).

Can either of you post of a picture of your current stance? I know it isn't related to your post, but I'm considering going with some mild spacers myself.

Here you go, 15mm rear spacers.

Wow, thanks. This is exactly what I need. I just emailed the guy at Otis that I was sending emails back and forth to. Not sure why he didn't recommend these to me. He represents the RAD line, so that might be why. I will probably end up going with these over the ECS ones you posted as these are all black and don't stand out at all.

[swalsh2333]

I got the black spacers and they actually stand out more than the aluminum finish since the wheels, the part the wheels mount to and the rotors are all silver. I love the black bolts though.

Here is a shitty iphone pic of mine. 15mm in rear and 12mm in front. You can actually see the black spacer if you look closely on the rear wheel.

I ordered the 43mm wheel locks from Otis. They work perfect for 15mm spacers. I am going to cut 3mm off 2 of them for the 12mm spacers in the front. I will be returning the other wheel locks to ECS.

Thanks for the feedback. I am going to purchase those as well. I have been holding off a bit, as I am still trying to decide what size spacers I am going with on the front. Just and FYI, that Otis will cut down your bolt locks as well for $3 per bolt. Reasonable price to ensure it is an accurate cut. Just another quick question, I am not too familiar with the style wheel you have on your car. What are the specs of the front rim, size and offset? Thanks.

Sorry for the late response. I just saw this. Here you go!

Front Wheels: 8.5J x 20 Offset: 33 EH2+ / Rear Wheels: 9J x 20 Offset: 44 EH2+. Front Tires: 245/35 R20 95Y / Rear Tires: 275/30 R20 97Y.

This thread doesn't make sense to me as I don't know how and why a pair of spacers would be bought without matching black lugs.

Your car is gorgeous. How do you like the 12mm spacers on the front? I am debating between the 10mm and the 12mm spacers for my front. I have 18mm spacers on my rear.

I actually bought the more expensive Turner spacers because it was grey and not black. I thought it looked like it was part of the wheel more. In retrospect, it's not that noticeable.

I just realized I made a mistake in this thread. I have 10mm in the front. I think they are perfect for the rims I have.

Thanks buddy, that makes the decision a lot easier. Ha. I thought I read in another thread that you have 20mm spacers on the rear.

FYI, my spacer kit came with lugs:
