That fronts only require a soft mallet and a good strike to knockout, to reinstall I suggest using lugnuts and alot of washers. The rears will require either grinding of the stud it's self or total removal of the rear hub which gets expensive, I don't reccomend doing the rears.

Unfortunately, I don't. I've only seen it once and never knew about it until it turned up at our weekly meet one night.

Didn't look too bad. Just quite awkward with sunken factory wheels. It's just the fact that it's an obvious copy of Sifu's 8 .

Forgive me in advance... I think I asked this question in here before, and this might not be the right thread but I know you guys know this stuff better than most. I have 18x9.5 +45 RPF-01's with 265/35's. What size spacers can I get that I wouldn't need to roll fenders and mess with the front corner lights? Also, what's a good brand and place to order the spacers from? Thanks and sorry for posting what might be a stupid simple question, but I don't have the experience and practice that you guys do.
