Have you noticed any difference in handling with the spacers on? I find the vehicle is a little les stable with the snows, but that is to be expected when compared with the big Diamaris tires. Will the spacers help at all?

Thanks,

Can't say that I have seen any noticeable handling difference with the spacers, but I don't try to corner hard with the snows either. I have been quite pleased with the handling and stability with my winter setup.

Guys,

If I upgrade to 20" inch rims, do I have to use spacers and new lug bolts. I am using the stock lug bolts in my 17 " rims for my current 19" rims...

You do not have to use spacers, and if you are going with OEM offset 20's, you won't need spacers or new lug bolts. However, you might end up getting interested in flares like the 4.8 has which look great with 20's.

ps. The 30mm HR kit comes with lug bolts but not sure about the smaller sizes.
