always run hubcentric. avoids speed wobble on the car.

if you go over 5mm then best to go for longer wheel bolts to be safe. unless you have wheels studs like on a track car.

I ran some 20 mm hubcentric spacers that bolt to the hub which are even better on my track car and then put the wheel studs into the spacers which extends the hub.

allowed me to run 15 inch BBS RZ wheels and clear 300mm discs with 4 pot wildwood calipers.

its in the thread here on the build on page 2:

I'd recommend either H&R or Eibach. They're not cheap but as the saying goes, you get what you pay for, and for something that is involved in attaching the wheel to the car, I'd only want the best
