^^^ As said, direct fit. No problems. If someone says they have issues, don't belive them, they have issues and are talking crap.

half the ppl say it can do done without spacers, and the other half say you need spacers!!

I took wheels directly off my DC5 and put them on a DC2 right next to it and the inside of the spoke hit the calipers. I fail to see how it can clear without spacers. It's close, very close. But it does touch slightly.

spacers are bad because they leave less thread for you to bolt the nuts on

unless you get hubcentric ones which come with new studs, but branded ones cost an arm and a leg.

but all are illegal

I've run 16mm spacers with longer studs on my car and there's no detriment whatsoever. It's when people put spacers on without longer studs or hubcentric bolt ons.

People have accidents all the time and blame certain components of the car. Alot of the time they're covering their ass. Don't believe everything you read on the interwebs. People tell stories.
