If the spreader were a one-off job, instead of modifying a perfectly good socket, I would've suggested taking a bolt, double-nutting it and grinding the head to size. This also works when you have to remove drain/fill plugs and don't have the right socket.
haha.. I drink stella beer

Thanks man!. Its a spare size allen socket that was rusted out so i was fine with it. Also wanted a close copy of that tool
By the looks of it the wheel bearing is mounted tothe hub so when that goes the tool will be useful again!

Have you thought about adding some spacers? I am got 12.5mm on fronts it mades it just extra flush. I have 10mm for the rear but I was rubbing with 255s so had to give them up. But given how low you are riding, spacers may not work for you. Nice tuck anyways.

Sadly I can relate to mishap #4 happen. Very sad.

Those are big holes in the trunk liner to adjust the shocks :O
Thank you sir
Im definitely looking at spacers for the time being as wheels is out of the question right now . Not until i come back from vacation.lol
Are your spacers the same hub size for the stock wheels?

Yup i already blocked that hole dont want to happen again.lol

Thats the product of the first hole attempt not lining up.haha

Finally washed the car after a 5,500km road trip to SoCal. Got it detailed by Ken (911fanatic) before I left. Managed to fit my car in his extremely busy schedule just so he could have it done before the trip. Highly recommend! Extremely friendly guy as well!

Yes, the spacers are the same size as the hub. There are many choices and of many qualities, but I got these

from sonic tuning
