3/8 spacers, longer studs and deeper lug nuts is what you'll need! Or buy some hubcentric H&R's. Either way you'll spend close to $100. Don't be a cheap a$$ when you're dealing with spacers. You could end up paying for it in the future.

the lfp 3/8 hubcentric's work great!!

No.

Well, you have to spend close to $100 to get a quality hubcentric spacer. Sure, you can spend $30 for some pot metal Mr. Gasket spacers at Pep Boys, but spacers are not an area where you want to try and save a couple of dollars.

dont they all wrk?

Some work better (and are safer) than others.

You should read through ALL of these threads. There's lots of good info out there. :thumbsup:

Not to sound like an a$$ in correcting you but the FR500's you bought are 18x10 not 18x10.5.

Go LFP and tell him your a member here its 79 bucks with et lugs and includes shipping thats what I use on a 17x10.5 and shaved down the bolt so they fit. No issues with the spacers they have never came loose I am very pleased

I ordered from LFP the morning of July 7th, got paypal confirmation that day. 9 days later still no parts. Have called and left messages on both numbers twice, have emailed both addresses twice.. No response on either. If I had to do it over, would go with MM....
