I run 166s for the summer and 124s in the winter, think I need 15 mm in the rear and 5 mm spacer in the front to make the 124 wheels more flush like the 166s. Sound right?

Also what brand do most guys recommend?

Thanks

I have a set of 5mm RSD wheel spacers with extended lugs for sale if you are interested.

$60 shipped within the US.

I just added spacers to my 124's. 20mm in the rear, 15mm to the front. the rears look good, almost flush with the fender. I'm thinning of going 25mm. The front was too much. 5mm will be fine. I bought H & R from turnermotorsport. They sell the extended lugs as well and their brand of lugs at bright silver to match the wheels.

No I'm gonna hold on to the 15mm. I'm still shopping for 19" wheels and oem 172's are in the running. the 15mm's will make the rear 172's look great.
