did we determine if these Rota Slipstreams are doable with 20MM spacers. i know some guys did it but didnt some have issues?? or was that something else. if they work what is the size rim do i need to order. thanks.

Mine fit fine with the 20mm spacers (although it looks super close). I also have the rear rolled.

Ebay but I verified they were 20mm exactly. My 22mm ebay spacers are 22mm exactly so it shouldn't matter what brand.

If you plan on using the spacer with studs on the slipstream wheel you will either have to cut your oem studs down or drill the wheel to allow the oem studs to pass though.

I wil be installing the ARP extended studs with mine.

Makes the choir of swapping the racing slicks much easier since you only have to loosen/tighten 20 lugs and not 40 with the bolt on spacers. I pressed the studs out of my bolt on spacers BTW. Be sure to get hub centric spacers.
