I've got these with my 172's. You might even be able to go 20 mm. They also come with lugs (not sure of exact length on extended lug nuts). These work great and are designed to be removed easily. Good luck!

I carry the Turner Motorsport spacers. A big hit with the M3 owners. The best way to see what size spacer you need is to measure it yourself. You can find directions over here http://www.turnermotorsport.com/t-wheel-spacers.aspx





Let me know. I can get black bolts as well

I have the turner spacers same as above. They are high quality and hub centric to both the actual hub and the wheel surface. Turner also offers extended lug bolts to match each of their spacer widths. Just make sure you get the rear re-alighned with the spacers or you will quickly destroy your tires (ask me how I know)

Yeah too much negative camber from the spacers + 550 power and no DTC/DSC = destroyed inner block. I was probably -1 before spacers and well over -3 after. So definitely get an alignment once the spacers are on.
