I mean they are just machined pieces of aluminum. As long as they are the right hub size they should be fine. You are going to have a bigger job installing them as the longer studs are required and take more work to install.

I’ve been using a DRM 15mm set, they’re not only sold on EBay, I’ve had zero issues with mine and I inspect regularly. Use a torque wrench , don’t beat on them with your impact.

If you have the clearance, get version 2 at 15mm. They come with integrated studs so you can bolt them onto the hubs then bolt the wheels to the spacer...this requires a slight depression on the backside of the wheels like AP2s have..it will not work with AP1 wheels

Definitely buy spacers with integrated studs and hub centric, will save you tons of work. I just installed a second set on my 2006 that are 15mm which gives the car the proper look in my opinion. Good luck with your decision.

I don't like the idea of the extra work to install them then. Rather get integrated studs.

15mm sounds better to me and more what I'd be going for actually. I do have AP2 V1 rims on my AP1, do they have that slight depression?

I like the sound of that. 15mm should be just right and not require rolling of fenders. I am lowered an 1" already.

Yay, but be careful over torquing the studs. I used an impact to lightly gun my nuts on and 2 studs, on one spacer, failed. Make sure it's V2 (built in studs). 20mm will clear the factory studs, but 15mm may require that you shave down the factory studs to get the spacer to fit the new wheel.
