Try any place that carries H&R. I believe they make 20mm for the Evo and they should come with longer wheels studs too.

Yes I need 20mm. However, the cheapest place is like 100bucks. Am I not looking in the right places. I have never had to get spacers before so I am not afluent when it comes to where to get these and who has them.

$100 is pretty cheap! They are machined hubcentric spacers with studs, not just spacers.

How hard is it really to get studs out?

Are you doing these spacers because of a rim you bought?

Do people use spacers to make the track wider in the car for better handling?

I hae longer studs and spacers up front ... helps widen the front track and run a spacer safely since I have a spacer under 20mm you cant get them with with built in studs.

I have to use spacers on my SSR Comps (17x8.5) because they rub the front brake calipers without. They're only like 10mm though.

Sorry this has nothing to do with my interest here, but this is kinda buggin' me.
I mean no offense either.
However, "affluent", is the wrong word. This isnt making sense.
If you said that you are not "familiar", that woulda made more sense.
Affluent means: "Financially Well-off".
EG: an affluent Banker.

Anyway, I have 18" RAYS Engineering Rims on my 2003 Lancer ES.
Their 18x7.5 and its causing some rubbing against the Spring Housing in the Rear.
If I Space the Rear wheels, should I Space the Front too?
How much space (mm)?

Im new to utilizing Wheel Spacers, so I know nothing.
I hear their not good to have, and that Hub Spacers are better...

Can someone educate me on this please?

Thank You!
