I would not recommend 1/4" spacers. You need to keep your wheels Hub Centric. If you're doing spacers, get a quality brand such as BORA. Cheap spacers kill people. Most things I'm a cheap skate on, but not wheel spacers.

Probably the thinnest you'll get in hub centric are 1' or maybe 1-1/4", and you'll have to trim the studs at that length.

You can get hub centric 5x120mm spacers as thin as 5mm

Yes, they use the factory ring up to around 12mm, after that they have their own ring

Had my new ride checked for oil pressure, well over the spec, 65psi+. So that it good. No leaks in coolant, oil, shop thinks my ticking is the drivers side lifters. So will start researching that.

Quick question, when I unlock the car w the fob, sometimes the alarm does not turn off. The alarm goes off when i open the door. Does anyone have a suggestion for where to start?

65 psi shouldn't be possible, the relief valve in the front cover regulates it to a max of 50.

I did a complete body panel swap from a dented up white to white gold. The white roof looks like a nod to the old Rovers. Flipped the spare tire carrier to accommodate the 245/75/16 Treadwright claw. Installed a snorkel as well

That's awesome! I was thinking about painting my roof, but you just swapped the whole panel? How many man job was it? Did you reinstall the windows/sunroofs etc. yourself?
