Default Wheel Spacers...

Guys, where do you get your wheel spacers? I'm going to add 20mm behind my stock wheels. Any recommendations?
Thanks a lot.

I got my 15mm spacers from ECS Tuning. They are lightweight aluminum (and black) and came w/ball-seat bolts. $99/pair. Just put them on last weekend and only about 5 miles driven, so I can't comment on anything other than how they looked.

My wheels are ET35 so with the spacers I end up with and ET of 20. If you add 20mm to your stock wheels, you'll end end with an ET of 5 - you may be rubbing. One of the allroad gurus on the site maybe able to shead a better light on this.

20mm works. I have a brand new set with the longer bolts for the ar.
I had them listed for $250. I can negotiate with you if interested. I've seen guys put 25mm spacers ar's... It's just a wider look.

VMR Wheels recommended the 15mm spacer for the wheels I bought (V710's - 18" x 8.5") so that's why I got them. Haven't put the stock 17's on w/the spacers (probably not until next winter with winter shoes) so I can't speak to how that would work but from what I hear it should be no problem.
