What is that flap at the top of the fender well on the rear of the vehicle? some type of mud flap?

Also what lug bolts are people using with the spacers??

That depends on how big the spacer is and why I get the spacer/lug kits. It makes the most sense.

You do see what 20mm looks like above right?

No I'm asking what size lugs do I need with a 12mmx15mm setup Not that i'm going 30mm spacer.

30mm is the current length of the lugs that I have. Based on math I would need a 43-45mm lug but wanted to confirm what other were running or where they got them.

Got ya, it just read that way I guess.

I would message the "r33_RGSport" guy and ask. He sells spacers and I bet he would know the lug size. He posted on the first page of this thread.

I did already :-)

Honestly not quite sure. I'm assuming it's to align dimensions of the car? I'll ask my SA when I see him

On certain countries, their law and regulation doesn’t allow any part of the tire to poke out from the fender.
Since there is negative camber from factory by default, where the bottom of the tires are poking out from the fender, car manufacturers has been adding that small piece to make the car compliant.

It is like a cheat to the law and regulation.

Well that explains why the US doesn't have them. That's ridiculous!

But US consumers want to be like European.
While European wants to be US.
Same story for 30+ years.

Back in the 90’s I’ve installed 10 side markers on Japanese cars everyday, while the Japanese deleting the side markers.
