    FK System B Spacers - Wrong Bolts?

    There should be 8 holes in each spacer, the tapered holes are for your actual wheel bolts, which you may need to shorten with a hacksaw if they foul the hub when you tighten them up, the other 4 holes are for the allen key type bolts.

    Replacing 182 factory head unit - what are these extra connectors for???!
