Hi Nibble, did you have to get longer bolts to use with the Apex 5mm spacers? If so, where would you recommend a good set? Thanks!
hi. with 5mm, stock bolt was at borderline and wanted to replace it with slightly longer one. later, I opted to APEX stud kit. it came with everything you need including thread locker. Also, the lug nuts were much lighter than expected.

I know Nibble already responded to this, but I did want to chime in.

When it comes to running spacers on cars with lug bolts, we recommend going with a longer bolt for safety reasons even with a relatively small spacer like a 5mm.

It may not sound like much, but it would be quite a bit of thread engagement you're losing if you tried to reuse the stock hardware.

Hope that clears things up a bit!

Great informative thread - will the VS-5RS 18x10 +30 be available in Motorsport Gold?

At the moment we only offer the SM-10RS in Motorsport gold in 18x10" ET30. While we are working on adding additional finishes to our other fitments, I don't have a firm date on when that specific combination might be available.

Hello! New to the forum and just purchased a 22' 2.0. I was hoping for some guidance on 18" fitment. I have stock suspension and would like to have 275/40front and 295/40 rear. wheels would be 18x9.5 and 18x11. what offset would i need to make this work with no spacers. Thank you for the help.

Typically for a 9.5-inch wheel up front we recommend an offset of ET25 to be flush without rubbing and for an 11-inch wheel in the rear, we recommend an offset of ET40.
