I did not know this thread existed. With that said, I think I'm in heaven haha

I've done quite a few things (it's the little things

)
- non-res test pipes
- non-res muffler delete
- dragon laminates on my DRLs and reverse lights
- stuff like that

But I've also just recently gotten some 20mm wheel spacers and I've never taken all four wheels off to do a thing before. Is it really as simple as just taking a wheel off, installing a spacer, then putting the wheel back on? It doesn't need to be realigned again, right?

Sorry for nooby questions!!! I may have had this car for like 3 or so years, but that doesn't mean I'm an expert

Why for you change perfectly good OEM plug for cheesy eBay ones? Did you round off the original OEM one?

I'm still running the original OEM drain plug and washer. Never had any problems, no runs, no drips, no errors.

It's just that easy, with one exception... I know with the OEM sport wheels, the OEM studs slightly interfere with the back of the front wheels if running 20mm spacers. In these cases either a little material needs to be ground off the wheel, or the stud needs a short trim. No idea if this is the case with the base wheels or not.

Not needed for base wheels. Example = me
