FML, wheel studes made it here (THANKS TO MITCH AT QSRACE.COM for the sponsorship!!!!)

back wheels went on fine.

front wheel was going on till I started to tighten the lug nuts down and I noticed the wheel wasnt sitting straight.... turns out the back of the wheel hub was hitting the caliper... I got them from aguy who had em on a JDM ef but they have the same size rotor and the same calipers so I was like WTF? anyway texted him and come to find out, he had DA front brakes...


da front rotors are 20mm ( i believe) bigger than EF front brakes so the caliper would clear the wheel hub by a mile.

So now I have 3 options:

1. run 10mm spacers and extended studs (16x8 +10 offset and 10mm spacers with no camber? gaaaay)

2. run hubcentric spacers(/adapter) (smallest they make for my style hub is 15mm so gaaaaay)

3. Da front brake swap. Bigger brakes = good. Cost = baaaad :( I know I need calipers, caliper supports (i think they are separate), rotors, and maybe brake hoses? Rotors and hoses are something I would want to buy new and calipers are spmething I should buy new but thats a 400 dollar + brake swap for everything new :(

so for now, Im still on stealies and I need a freakin oil change but I have no where to do it cause I'm at school and I dont trust Juffy Lube and honda is going to want a kidney and then some to do it.
