Guys, this totally sucks. I got M Parallel replicas and I just replaced my front rotors and pads (hawk). When I go to move the car, the caliper rubs and holds the front wheels!!! Luckly my co-worker cut the hub part of my old rotors and used them as wheel spacers. I know its sounds crazzy but it works. Problem is I get a slight vibration around 50mph so I think I'm gonna need actual wheel spacers. Where can I get 6 or 7 mm spacers? Thanks

Eibach sells 5 and 10mm spacers.
umm, what are you using as spacers? wtf? I recommend you don't drive your car until you have real spacers on there...

You "cut" spacers probly aren't cut straight putting your wheels out of balance. Seems pretty stupid to me but that's not the issue. You need to figure out what size spacer you need and order the correct parts.

I have some H&R 5mm spacers for sale that are in great shape. I used them with my 19x8.5 untill i got my bbk and needed larger spacers.

Bekkers carry the cheapest priced spacers I've seen. i dont think you'd need longer lug bolts with 5mm spacers. http://www.bekkers.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=SU210206&Category_Code=

the wheel spacers I'm using are actually my old rotors. They are nearly perfectly flat and are doing the job quite well. As for spacers, thanks for the input.
