I'm looking to get spacers for my 2020 si with stock setup. After reading up, it looks like I'm in the market for 20mm spacers if I want that flush fit... Does anyone have any recommendations? Couple buddies of mine have gotten them off ebay but that seems a little sketchy.

Also, if anyone has had a good or bad experience with spacers (wear, ride quality difference, etc.) please chime in thanks

I debated putting spacers on, and wound up saving for wheels instead. It's around $300 for quality spacers and around $1000 for wheels, and I felt the wheels would be a safer option as well.

eBay is fine, as long as you know what you are looking for. You need to make sure that they are hubcentric look for 10.9 grade studs and billet aluminum body... That's it really. I actually just ordered these.

I just installed GarageLine Hubcentric 20mm spacers all around on my 2019 Si Coupe running 2020 Si wheels. I have Eibach Pro-Kit springs, too.

The only strange issue I ran into was the original studs making the slightest contact with the "relief" area in the back of the wheels. I bought a dremel tool and ground down a tad of metal where the studs were making contact.

I don't know that I'd want 25mm on the rear as the fitment now looks about perfect to me. Although, the extra 5mm may not be that noticeable, really.

Surprisingly, I did not notice a discernible difference in ride quality/characteristics from stock to lowered and then none again after I installed the spacers. I've only run them for a few hundred miles so far and I drive like an old fart.

Best of luck!!

I guess you could grind the studs, I chose to grind a very small amount from each wheel where the studs made contact. I would hand tighten the lugs and then loosen and remove the wheel and inspect the back of the wheel for contact, see my pics above.

Good luck!

More important is to either grind down the lugs, or use deeper lug nuts. I thought the Garage Line lugs were short enough, being barely 1 thread longer than the wheel lug. I drove on it for about a month, and when I went to install my coilovers, the wheel had seized a little to the spacer and took a really good tug to take off. This could have been a LOT worse, where the wheel and spacer could have welded together. I opted to remove the spacers.

I agree with the earlier response that wheels with adjusted offset are a better way to get the look. The OEM wheel offset for the SI or Sport hatch 18"x8" wheel is 50mm. Most get wider wheels, meaning the offset usually ends up around 35-38.

20mm spacers were one of my favorite mods!! No lowering springs necessary and it still looks perfect.

H&R spacers are a good choice. Had them on another car and had no problems.
