Exclamation Spacers for stock XS Wheesl

HI guys ,

I'm now looking for set of spacers for my X sedan. I'm dropped on Swift springs and putting on my XS sedan wheels, 18/8.5 rears and 18/7.5 fronts and running 245's all around for winter. What spacers should I be running 20mm and 25mm. I also have Z1 extended studs( After market wheels wouldn't tighten all the way and would become loose) I just tried to swap my rims over for winter and the stock acorn lugs would go all the way? Wheel was loose.

Since you already have the extended studs you might just go w/ a slide-on spacer, they won't be very thick but at least you can use your OEM lug nuts. Something like a 5mm, if you want it mainly for looks then yeah, a 17mm on up and Ichiba, H&R, or B2 autodesigns bolt-ons are good choices.

If those are stock duckfeet for the xS, then they are both 7.5" wide front and rear. If yours are staggered 8.5" rear to 7.5" front, then they aren't the original rims.

Draigon had his xS dropped on AWD Swifts, and 20mm spacers at each corner.

I have the stock staggered duckfeet on my 6MT for winter, and because of the drop on RWD Swifts, I'm using 15mm spacers at each corner. This is how it looks:

Another question is if you put extended studs in there, how much longer are the extended studs from the stock ones? that ideally should be the maximum size of the spacer you use to be on the safe side of things.

Whatever spacer you go with, make sure you are running at least 8-9 turns on your stock lug nuts. If you spacer out too far, you might be running into the same problem you had with the aftermarket wheels and lug nuts, where they don't hold like they should.

For what its worth, get the one piece spacers, such as H&R, B2, etc...
(Less chance of having vibrations)

Hey guys thanx for the input , I really appoligize that I miss posted XS wheels I forgot the wheels are off a S sedan RWD, and they are 7.5 and 8.5 I looked at the back of the rims this morning . I am looking at HRs just having I hard time spending 250$ on spacers
But haven't ruled out going with the Z1 or garageline spacers .

The extended studs at 10mm longer than the stock ones so I was looking at 20mm all around again with built in studs
