Has anyone used Rogue Engineering's 10mm Wheel Spacers with their 166's? If so, can you post your experience? Was if a DIY install and what type of grease did you apply between the spacer and hub?
TIA,

Just installed 166's with 12mm spacers - totally DIY. I had America's Tire do it, but I stood by and closely watched (breathing down tech's neck
). They didn't add any grease. If you buy from Rogue, they'll give you longer lug nuts - You will need them! Nice choice in wheels BTW!!

Marco,
You might want to go to the auto store this weekend and get some anti-seize spray. Use it on the spacers b/c if you don't it will be very difficult to remove them from the hub in the future.

i think vegastrashed had rogue engineering spacers on his 166s when he had them on his 545, then it went to delje08 before he went with VIPs. except the spacers were 12mm.

Thanks Joe - I'll do that in the next few days. Were these your wheels 1st? Wasn't aware of that
Bokke - you heard it pal - anti seize spray.

My 166s were sold to some cheap skate, ahem EBMCS03, last year.
I didn't have Rogue Engineering spacers, I got my IchibaUSA 12mm spacers from rizbel.

I bought the spacers directly from www.rogueengineering.com.
