This is what I have as well.

Yeah I'm running like 25mm of spacers up front on extended wheel studs. Steering feels a bit lighter.

I'm going to be getting RacerX FLCAs to widen the front track and when I do, I'll remove some of those spacers

Those (the 20mm's) may not clear blue.series wheels that the OP has.
Someone on the forum actually PM-ed me saying his wheels didn't clear the 20mm v3 spacers and suggested grabbing low profile lugs

I put H&Rs about a week ago, here's how 20 in the front looks:

Thanks for the heads up! Using my incredibly terrible internet e-measurement goggles, those look to be the same length stud to me. Maybe @Corner3garage could chime in with a length?

Are the stock wheels and Series.Blue wheels not the same spec? It seems like a lot of people are running the H&R Spacers 20/25 without issue...

Yes they are the same size, but it's this gap that is different:

blue.series


stock

Sorry. Forgive my noob-ness. But what am I looking for?

On the stock wheels the whole hub sits flush against the wheel except for the areas where the wheel is hollowed out (doesn't make a difference in how the hub sits on the wheel) but on the blue series there are protrusions on the wheel between the main body of the wheel and the hub which you can see in the first picture. The protrusions push the wheel away from the hub/spacer and apparently make the wheel hub thicker than oem which may reduce the size of stud you're left with once the wheel is mounted.

Ah. Alright. Thanks for the explanation. Makes sense now.

So a solution would be extended studs or low-profile lugs? Anyone have recommendations?

i have a series.blue also... i used 25mm front 30mm rear. it makes the sti wheels looks better! but still doesnt help the skinny tire issue!! haha

Looks awesome. What spacers did you use? Did you have to modify your studs?

what I'm saying is I'm not sure the v3 20mm spacers clear the fronts. I have H&R's and they are fine without anything extra.

Ah. Awesome. Thanks for clarifying. Makes my purchasing a lot simpler.

Corner3 front 20mm do not clear as I've found out today. The 25mm clear it fine so now I'm debating finding another 25mm or getting 30mm for the rear. It'll be sitting on the eibach pro kit for the time being
