I searched and read all the topics but couldn't find my answer, hopefully this will help other as well. I wanted to use HR 15mm front spacer to push out my oem 16/17 rims, I have the HR 25mm on the rear, can I use the HR 15mm integral stud spacer and just put wheels on like the 25mm or I have to get the HR 15mm hubcentric front spacer and have the mechanic put longer studs on my rotor. I just want the easiest route hopefully the integral stud will work and stud long enough to pot wheel on like the 25mm

I believe you have to get the HR 15mm hubcentric front spacer and have the mechanic put longer studs on my rotor to get it to work. I don't believe they make the bolt on size in anything less than 20mm.


Anyway, keep in mind that the stock studs are longer than 15mm (and longer than 20mm too), so they stick past the spacer itself. This will be an issue if your wheels don't have recessed hole drilled in the back like the 2002+ wheels (I don't remember for the OEM 16/17s if they have it or not). See Kyras' pix for example:

20mm spacer.. note how the stock bolts are past the spacer

If you are using OEM 16/17 wheels then you can use the HR 15mm integral stud spacer.

Only the 2002+ OEM 17/17 wheels require the longer studs.
Notice in the post above that it is a 2002 wheel.

Wheels prior to 2002 have clearance.

Thanks guys, so i can order the HR 15mm integral stud front spacer and put on the front and put wheels on just like the 25mm? Does it have same hubcentric bore for the front?
