<![CDATA[Spacers]]>What do you guys think the best way to go for 20-25mm spacers? The kind where they bolt to the hub then the wheel bolts to the spacer or a straight bolt through?

The machined hole with taper for the lug seat must go through like 60%-70% (or more) of the spacer to leave enough room for the lug head to be fully recessed. Really doesn't leave a lot of material for structural strength....

IDK... I just know 20mm spacers aren't huge - so machining a majority of it away to allow for a recessed lug just worries me. That and using lug bolts blow.

My 20mm spacers for visual reference:

H&R trak+ spacers with green loctite and the correct hubcentric diameter to match the wheels you have is the way I would do it.

Do you mean these?

They bolt on and came with locktite for the studs. Get quality hubcentric ones. Don't go with cheap/ebay ones.
