Our in house ECS brand are on sale with the holiday sale just a little food for thought. Both are great quality, built to the highest standards.

These spacers are not rocket science. Buy them wherever you get cheaper shipping. ECS might be a good choice.

Just be aware that the better ones are made of an alum/magnesium alloy for lower unsprung weight, have steel threaded inserts and are hard anodized to eliminate Al/Fe electrolysis, this prevents them from becoming frozen to the rotor and Al/Al corrosion that will freeze then to the wheels. Some cheap spacers are raw cast Al and therefore will not be as true as machined spacers. Find the lowest price QUALITY spacers out there, don't buy the cheap ones off e-bay! I chose H&Rs.

I was thinking about going with the 20mm spacers. Anything negative about adding these? Any premature or uneven tire wear or other issues I should consider?

Running spacers is like running a wheel with a more aggressive offset. Tire wear doesn't change, wear on other components doesn't change. What does change is where the wheel sits in the fender well. Make sure to get the correct length wheel bolts when grabbing your 20mm spacers, HERE is a link to our ECS Spacers with the proper wheel bolts.

Thanks. Im undecided between the 20 and 30mm. Hmmmm what to do. Price is the only think keeping me from jumping on the 30's.
