I am new to the forum and considering going the 325/30/19 Michelin all season pilots on rears and would like info about where to get the 6mm spacer. If someone has a link for where to buy them that they could share that would be helpful.
I'm considering getting new wheels and just running the all seasons at least some of the time. Looking to get BBS Fi-r wheels in factory sizes to mount them on.
I know one person here has installed the 325 michelins and also wonder if the extra 20mm gives noticeable traction.
Love the BW but don't love the lack of traction this time of year. Not sure what to do.
Thanks
 
Not sure if you are aware, but spacers that aren't bolted on, eat up your lug nut thread engagement. Unless you are planning getting longer studs, I would not do 6mm spacers. To give you an example, on my ATS-V, 5mm spacers cut down my lug nut thread engagement by half. It went from about 9.5 turns to around 5. Discount Tire, for example would not mount these wheels for me with the spacer in place, because of this limited thread engagement. And the wheel hit the strut without a spacer. Every wheel is different, but something to keep in mind.
 
I would do whatever's needed including new studs. I would have to have someone do this work as I would not attempt it on my own. I'm assuming either the Caddy dealer or a tire shop could do the install. Just not familiar with all the details to really know what to do here....and if it's even worth fooling with.
