Why did you go from 20mm on all four corners to just rear ?
Did you notice and handling differences ?
My issue is that Stillen says the bolt on H&R DRM won't fit
on front with stock wheels and I'm not interest in the long
stud set up due to PA inspection laws.

I did a tire rotation and left the spacers on the rear because the front wheels were on the rear. I drove several thousand miles like that.
When I did swap back, I didn't notice any difference, but more than likely because there was so much of a gap.


I really don't get the hold up. If you want 20mm ONLY on the rear, and you aren't a F1 driver, you won't notice a difference.
Buy them, install them, and enjoy it.

Don't buy them from Stillen, many other vendors here that offer better prices and service

I tried to install H&R DRM bolt-on 15mm spacers on the rear with my aftermarket wheels since they have recessed spaces where the protuding stock stud can fit. The spaces are not wide enough so the corner of the stud hits the wheel

Then I asked the vendor if the DRS extended bolt type would work since it would not have to deal with the stock stud hitting the wheel right?

He said it would not work either

What am I missing here
