But on your website it says the 15mm will not fit with stock wheels though. If I knew they would work I'd order the 15mm right now. Just don't want to order something and have to return them or have to pay a restock fee to return them.

Sorry that is a carry over from the SI. If you have a sport it should not be a problem.

You will have to clearance the wheel pockets a little to clear the studs. I took a die grinder to mine with 20mm spacers. It can be forced on though and the alum will move :thumbsup:

Even the 20mm spacers need some modification to the wheel pockets? Was gonna pull the trigger on the 15mm. Now I wonder how much metal do I need to grind off of the wheel pocket to make the 15mm fit and how safe that would be to do.

P.S. Any promo codes?

My buddy didn't bother to clearance his for the 20mm on his sport. Dont worry about removing a little more for 15mm spacers...there is a ton of material surrounding that area. I'm guessing you would have to go about .125 into the side of the wheel, .375 deep, and .500 wide to clear for 15mm spacers. A die grinder and an burr for alum would remove it in no time.

Maybe I'm lost here, but why would you need to grind off anything on these spacers? Also isn't 15mm technically shorter than 20mm so wouldn't that make it "easier" on the suspension geometry? I'm referencing for an Si.

Grind the pockets in the wheels (not spacers) to clear the stock studs that will protrude using a 15mm spacer. You can trim the stock studs but I don’t know if you will have enough thread left if you ever remove the spacers. Look at the pockets in the pic

I just purchased a set of 20mm front and 20mm rear for my 2017 Touring sedan and the only option they had when buying was a set for the SI. Will this be a problem installing since it wasn’t ordered for my Trim type? Thanks in advance

For reference since I get emailed weekly about this setup.

20mm hubcentric spacers with threaded studs and Eibach Sportline Springs on the OEM Sport/Si wheels look like this:

You can find many spacers from companies such as Garageline, Eibach, etc.
I have personally used Garageline 20mm front and rear.

You can buy them here.

20mm will fit with ZERO issues ;)
Thank you so much for this thread. Its settled, this on my next to do list! Looks amazing.
