Brian,
I do prefer the finish of the stock bolts.
So you are saying that there are no availble threads for a 5mm spacer? Bummer. I was hoping 3/16in would be there.
Any idea what the 30mm stock-look lug bolts go for? I'd love this tire size, but the wallet isn't going to be able to take the hit for spacers, tires, and lug bolts if the bolts are going for $3 each. The suspension needs more attention than the extra width is worth. Eibachs and Konis are on a list that there is no budget for (SAS sway bar and MP Perf clamp and braces are installed).
BTW, my main reason for the extra width was tire wear. I only got 30k miles out of the OEM 6000s and 33k out of the Dunlop 5000s. The Dunlops are actually in great shape, but the wet traction, both lateral and accel/braking, has completely gone away. The rear end has been coming out without warning lately.
