I think I broke two of the spacers when I took my wheels off. I don't really know if I need to replace them but just in case. Thanks.

You use wheel spacers? Why? I hear that they're not the wisest thing to use. I'de just get rims with the proper offset. Linky!

Didn't know it was there. I saw it when I took off the wheels.

Hey thanks for the link. I don't think those are the kind I'm looking for though. Mine are just plastic and doesn't really need to use extended bolts. Thanks for your help though.

I think plastic ones suck even worse. Although if they're not too think then you don't have to worry about certain problems. Metal ones conduct heat better, so the brakes cool off by using the rims as a heatsink. Anyway, just FYI...
