yeah got mine swapped for $200 from my friendly mechanic. they were used hubs though but who the hell needs new ones. two years and nothing.
very nice discovery though. maybe some people won't be wanting to throw away huge expenss of money.

Hopefully, my rims won't tax the bearing too much because they're much lighter than OEM. I agree that a wide spacer is a bad idea.
But these measurements reduce the risks to the maximum. If nothing else, a good temporary measure.
majiktib, sent u a pm. Guess I will be going with Rotorpro's rotors after all.

Ihave a question though, will ball joints suffer more from installing a 8mm spacer, or let's say by installing a different rim of 17" and 20+lb weight?
Because I think light rims with spacers could be the same as OEM rim fitment with heavy a$$ rims.

Technically if you reduce the wieght of the wheel, but install the spacer, depending on the difference in weight it may work out to be equal.
