Wheel spacers
Ive been thinking about spacing out my d90's and I was wondering if there are any cons to doing this? Do you guys go with H&R? Anybody have any pictures of their wheels spaced out and how many mm they are? Thanks.

You can put max 5 mm spacers on with stock studs.
If you put spacers larger than 5 mm, you'll have to change the stock studs for longer ones or the lug nits will not have enough thread to grip.
I have 18 mm H&R spacers on my car when I run my MY02 996 wheels as they are ET 65 on the rear.
I have 5 mm spacers on the front and 10 mm spacers on the rear (longer studs on both) to prevent tire rub on my ET55 and ET50 track rims.
