Thanks for any input in advance! So I have been looking at swift springs for my G and I want the flush look that spacers will give it. I will not be doing springs until after the winter because I live in Chicago and reeeaalllly do not feel like dealing with that just yet... BUT I am considering putting spacers on at stock height. I have seen pictures of stock height Gs that have spacers on them and I think it looks fine. But the big question at hand is what do I need to know with regards to putting spacers on? (assume I know nothing outside of the literal purpose of them)

 

You can either get the ones which bolt on over your existing studs, or get the extended studs type. I run the extended studs type on my car. So you have to take off the caliper, rotor, knock out the studs and re-assemble. If you get the bolt-on kind you literally just bolt the spacer on and you're done. Pretty simple job. If you can put a wheel on you can put a spacer on lol

 

Does the G have a slot where you can knock out and install new studs on all four corners? Some cars do some don't just wondering. Would hate to remove the entire assembly to have them pressed

 

I was more meaning from a technical standpoint like do they need to be retorqued? If so at how many miles? Are there any issues with having them in for a good period of time?

 

I re-torque my front spacers at every oil change for peace of mind. The higher mm spacers can put more wear on wheel bearings but so can low offset wheels.

 

If you purchase spacer adapters, do NOT use the little half-height lugnuts that come with the adapters. They are utter garbage. Drop $20 on a set of lugnuts like these gorilla spline drives here:

 

Yep, it does. It was pretty easy to knock them out and replace.

Yea, you should retorque after a few hundred miles.

As for running them for a while, some people say it'll increase wear on your wheel bearings... but putting larger offset wheels would have done the exact same thing anyways.

Mine have been on for a year, no issues.
