Wow, you guys use spacers on a 60-70k car?

I would never trust those things. You strip the bolts on that spacer and those wheels are never coming off.

I'd be careful to have the ability to remove them in case they don't fit after the hammer!! you don't want to trade one problem with another.
Agreed, but the point of using the hammer is to knock down surface blemishes rather than to get it on....

I had to use sandpaper to smooth out and scrape off the rust build up around the hub. Once it was clean, the spacer slid right on. But, I have the rogue 15mm ones, not the H&Rs. Good luck.
