Default Anyone installed the H&R Spacer kit ?

Got the 7 and 15mm kit yesterday and noticed that the spacer plates just have the holes for the studs only.
The kit came with the extra studs , but I wondering that I have to remove the current studs from the wheel somehow.
The last set I purchased, had the holes and new studs attatched to the spacer and it was just a bolt on proceedure.

Anyone done this recently ?

You don't have studs - you have lug bolts. For the 15mm you need to use the longer lug bolts included. They hold the spacers on with the wheels.

It will probably be more clear to me when I pull the wheel off.

these are donut spacers. Just a disc with 5 holes. The ones you had before are adapter spacers. You bolt them to the hub with the origional bolts and then bolt your wheel to the new spacer. The donuts are much more efficient. you dont have all the extra weight and unnecessary parts. The donuts are a little harder to install. you have to line up the wholes to start the lug bolts. But you can also use the guide bolt starter to line up the wheel, spacer, bolts. The starter guide bolts are commomly available on ebay or accessory stores.

i jut installed the 5mm in front... very easy... as okbarnett mentions no extra bolts needed, just have to line everything up and use longer lug nuts
