I mean, i really have no clue... i mean, i feel stupid right now. i did a little search and could only come up with the fact that i will need longer studs with a spacer over 5mm but nothing about how or where to acquire them? what are yalls ideas?

Most all good spacers or shims come with the required hardware. Don't buy cheap wheel spacers!!! The potential for disaster is greatly increased.

H&R or OTG are good selections. There are others as well. If you need longer studs...... :lalala: .....try the auto parts store.

if the front still needs attention
SKUNK2 has a set for civics that I own but have not installed
the spline count is the questionable part
i may try it this weekend, if I do I'll post pics

You won't need longer studs for spacers up to 5mm thick.

I used OEM Lexus wheel studs. They have the same spline count and diameter and are about 5mm longer than the originals. I believe the Honda-application studs may not fit correctly due to the splined section being different...they may be narrower AFAIK.

thanks guys but i just picked up a set of 10mm h&r spacers that come with studs(for VERY VERY cheap). so hopefully theyre 10mm longer than stock.
