I got them install today FINALLY.
An hour long job took me four hours...
entirely my fault.

I borrowed (yes, you can do this with any of their tools) a torque wrench from O' Reileys.

Then got the allen key adapter socket (hard to find in metric for less than 10$).

THEN the drum brakes WOULD NOT come off! :[
I searched around the net and turns out if you simply cannot tap them off with a hammer then you can get (2) M8 bolts, and screw them in the hub and it pops off really easy.

The rest was pretty easy but the actual spacers wouldnt slide on because of the rust so I just had to bolt them on and pull them into place...

anyways...
very easy if you have the right stuff.

My helper couldnt tell a difference, but I can....

Heres some crappy cellphone pics from today... I didnt mean to take pics of the new spaced out wheels .... my car just looked lowered sitting there in the grassy field, LOL.

This was the hardest part of my install too. Thanks for identifying the bolt size as I had just grabbed a handful of loose ones I had lying around until I found one that fit. :smile: Someone should edit the PG install thread and note that bolt size too.

Suprised the intall took 4 hours. I had my spacers installed in 40 minutes :iono: Then another 3 hours trying to pull/roll my fenders to help the rubbing issues.

my brother recently bought some huge rims that I wanted to slap on the back of my car and see how much the spacers space out the rims compared to the front, these wheels should show it very well, haha.
