I'll be leaving these 'as is' - don't want to end up with some sort of funny car Porsche!

Two questions for cdodkin --
1) So you only put 15mm spacers on the front? None on the rear?
2) Where can I buy the H&R spacers and extended lug bolts? Can you refer me to who you bought yours from?
Thanks.

I purchased both the spacers and 60mm bolts from Automotion.
http://www.automotion.com/productpag...+Wheel+Spacers
I went with the 15mm DR spacer kit Part Number: 909572
And 10 x 60mm bolt Part Number: 910262

Wheel off - hub face clean and ready to take spacer

Handling is great - no wobbles with these hub-centric spacers.
Turn-in is sharper - car feels nice and planted through turns.

The next time you have the wheels off, paint the calipers and the "top hats."
Here are the threads I started after doing each of these:
