Why not 15mm spacers all around?

projectsilvia.com (http://64.81.125.131/nbp/braking.htm#4) has them really cheap and Foxcolt swears by them. They are $14 each for 10mm

IMHO, the front looks perfect. I've got 17x8 +27 and it sticks out on the sides. This will always kick up dirt on the side of you car. You definitely need the rears spaced out though.

1/4" = 6.3mm

A 1/2" (12.7mm) spacer would be about perfect.

If I put in a 10mm spacer, would I need to run extended studs? I am currently running my stockie SE wheels, but I want them to be out towards the fenders more, not like my Honduh's offset.

So let say the stock offset is 42mm (may or may not be, just a number thrown out) and I run a 10mm spacer, this changes the offset to a 32mm offset then?

evil -- go 25mm spacer all 'round. Trust me. either that, or 30mm rear (roll fenders) and 25mm front. You won't regret it! I'm running 15x7 +5 with 205/55/15 rear, and they're PERFECT! I wouldn't have it any other way... except maybe 15x8 +5 with some more negative camber. ;)

you will need extended studs for spacers of 10mm or thicker for sure... although I would recommend extended studs for anything more than 5mm.

Yeah wheel studs would be a definite must. Does anyone know a cheap place to get wheel studs? $8 x 16 or 20 from courtesy is a lot just to push your wheels out.

you'll have to get lugnuts with a Honda thread though.
