Q's regarding wheel spacers.

Sorry guys, I'm noob with spacers.

Anyways. I 'm looking for 1/2 inch spacers for the fronts for a more aggressive look. Seen them on eBay for much less. I forgot what brand though.
Anyone know of any decent spacer brands for a decent price?

Heard about the Eibachs but for +$100 a pair?

Theres a set on eBay for $15. IDK what brand though.

Also, will they be just bolt ons?
I mean, as in . . . .
1) remove wheel
2) place spacer on wheel hub
3) put wheel on
4) tighten lugs
5) drive

If you buy the crappy EBay spcers you will probably get vibrations at higher speeds. You need to make sure they are hubcentric like the Eibachs. If you do anything over a 7mm spacer you will want to get the longer wheel studs as well.

I need at least 10mm spacers, So how do I get longer studs?

Most companies that make spacers 10mm and higher will come with the longer studs, otherwise you will have to go Pep Boys or something and get them.
