Great!

Now you got me thinking about spacers...where did you get them and what color are your lug bolts?

Why didn't you do the front?

Your factory lugs become automatically shorter by 20mm so you HAVE to use new 14x1.25 lugs that are 20 mm longer than factory.

i used H&R DRA type spacers, so it means i have to use HR provided lugs to mount the spacers to the wheel hub first, then factory lugs goes on the spacers

So did you use the 25mm DRA? your initial post indicates 20mm.

I like the steering wheel too... been thinking of replacing mine with a nice soft yet thick Nappa leather M wheel. Just haven't been able to justify the cost of replacement... anywhere from $600 - $1,500 is what I've seen.
