Here's a more Crossfire specific installation of H&R 10mm F and 12mm R wheel spacers

1. Before installing spacers, remove all corrosion on the axle-stub and contact surface.
2 Check that the spacer fits flush against the wheel hub.
3. Replace STOCK bolts with longer H&R wheel bolts.
4. Its easier to mount the wheel spacer first on the wheel / rim hub and push it in until it fits flush to the hub. ( Photo no. 2 )
5. Install the wheel and torque the bolts at 81 ft. lbs.

nice. thanks for the tutorial...but i don't get how the spacers are attached with our cars since we don't have studs the way the maxima has studs on the inside of the rotor.

I think the spacers just reduce the rubbing in the inner part of the tires. However, there are some adjustments in our driving skills that needs to be concerned of, which is to really slow down in the humps and dips most especially when turning.
