Help on DIY

I'm trying to put on spacers. What sort of tools would I need to do this myself? If anyone can show me in person, that'll be awesome too

You just need to take the wheels off and snap on the spacers before you put the wheels back. Job done !!! Provide you have all the tools such as hydraulic jack, stands etc etc.

depending on your spacer, you might need extended bolts, and the hub spacers as well. Otherwise, when you tighten the wheel spacer and the wheel, your wheel might act as it's not aligned and you'll feel a woble at higher speeds.

Any wheel shop will be able to take care of this for me ya? Would it be cheaper if I buy the tools?
