I HIGHLY suggest u run the spacer shim.
u dont lose ANY stud threading
and u get 10mm spacing..
its much more practical than running a regular spacer...
www.onetongarage.com
has them.. i think less than 100 shipped.
i have a set and i can't begin to tell u how happy i am
with the quality and craftsmanship

Pardon my ignorance but how does the OTG shims help on a stock setup? Is it just for aesthetic reasons or is there better handling?

It is mainly ised for either aesthetic reasons or to help with offset. My friend is running 18's on his xA and they are rubbing so he is ordering the OTG shims.

I have them on my xB for aesthetic reasons, they help to even up the rear tires with the front tires.

I bought them for aesthetic purposes, but I noticed better handling in turns.
