If you get the eibach pro spacers they come with studs attached so you bolt them over your original studs then bolt the wheels to the new studs captive on the spacers. Only issue i believe is that you either need a longer locking wheel nut (McGard 24137's from memory?) or cut a few mm off 1 stud on each wheel so the Ford locking nuts don't bottom out on the stud.

To match your wheels you could always have the edges painted black before you fit them

As Troy said you can easily paint them black

I appreciate your opinion on the 20mm spacers Ads, but i have had my 20mm spacers on now for nearly two years with no problems only improvement (much the same as the 15mm i would imagine. ) At first i thought they where borderline on legality so had them checked at three different mot garages and they all said they where fine.

Any more info on this guys as I am going to get spacers fitted but unsure what size to get?
I to am thinking 15mm front, and 20mm back. Is 15mm max for front?
Anymore opinions on the handling side from members who have 20mm or different than 15mm at back? Does it look a lot better than 15mm at the back or no real difference?
Will the bolts and wheel locking nuts be safe with spacers? If not what else should I buy?
