Finally,
I order the 166...it should be coming by next week.
NOW, I got to think about putting spacer for the rear..
I was thinking about 12mm..
What do you guys think..?
I know vegatrashed has 10mm,,,,

quad_m is right. I have slight vibrations around 70 - 80mph and then it goes away as the speed climbs.

I followed Jiio's advice and ordered the 12mm spacers. I can't wait to get home to SanDog to install my OEM 166s with non-runflat 19s.

Get the 12mm. I'm still considering replacing my 10mm with 12mm.
! I can't wait to drive it but have to wait. It takes 24 hrs for the brake caliper paint to cure. 8 hrs to go :'( .

Rizbel,
You need to make up an excuse to fly back to Socal next weekend. You have to take your ride to the Meet. I wanna see it!
