I believe that these are the spacers that many of you recommend. Spacers
When these are installed, can you still put the plastic lug nut covers over the lug nuts??
Thanks,

You could spend another $16 and get the Hubcentric spacers
Both will work fine. I might opt for the hubcentric if the choice is available.

What is the difference between the two?

Hubcentric has a hub for centering the wheel. Those without are lugcentric, and center the wheel using the lugs.BobbleSmitty wrote:What is the difference between the two?
Hubcentric just adds a little extra to hold the wheel centered.

I'm not sure about those spacers, but on both sets of mine, the stock lugs will not fit. The threads are different. but the lug nut caps will still fit. They press on instead of screwing on. I just use a small flathead screwdriver to get them off when I need to.

The AIM spacers and a few of the ebay spacers used 1/2" studs. These are stronger, but use a 13/16" nut. This larger nut does not have the threads. Walt is right though. The caps press on the nuts. That is what I do on my front wheels. I use a pair of pliers to pull them off. They work just fine.
The stock studs are 12mm and will reuse the threaded lugnuts.
