Thoughts on wheel spacers..

[stsmoker]

I've been readin up about wheel spacers...really want my wheels to stick out a little more than they do right now. Any recommendations on width (1"-1.5"). Is it safe to do bolt pattern adapters while im at it (5x4.5 > 5x5). I heard theres some risk about breaking lugs or what not. And lastly...are the 3rd gen's hub centric or lug centric?

I think we are hub centric and if you purchase quality spacers that are designed for the weight of the Ex, you should be okay. I think the people that have the problems are the ones that put like a 1/2" spacer on and only use the stock lugs. That causes excess stress and bam, break the lugs.

im currently running 2 inch spacers on mine and it looks very good. No problems at all with them, just make sure they are hub centric
