I had those on my 135 and I thought they were great. Its nice that they come with the correct size lugs since some spacers dont come with any at all

These guys are great as they will fabricate any size you want (9mm, 11mm, etc.) Running them now and no issues whatsoever.

What's the best sized spacers for a flush look with the OEM wheels? Also, where can I get extended lug locks?

The spacers come with the extended lugs, but I dunno if extended lug locks are available.

These seem to be the only option I can find. I guess they could be painted black to match the lugs.

This company manufactures extended lug wheel locks just contact them with the size you are running and they will do the rest.

I have 10mm all around and I think anything more would be overkill (where wheels sticks out well beyond the arch). Do a quick search in this sub forum, I posted a couple of weeks ago pics of before and after. Also, spacers are not ideal when it comes to handing (plenty has been written on scrub radius), and a few other have downsides, so don't over do it IMO.

Also, if you are planning on eventually increasing tire width (I am to 285s in rear), you wouldn't want to slap too thick of a spacer now (ditto if you are planning to lower car).

PS: Here are some negative effects of wheel spacers:

1. Increasing wear on wheel bearings,
2. Adding an extra pound of unsprung weight at each corner,
3. Lowering the effective spring rate,
4. Raising a rooster tail of water spray to trailing cars,
5. Reducing top speed acceleration due to drag of more exposed tire beyond wheel well,
6. Adding an extra sheer surface on a longer wheel bolt,
7. Changing the kingpin axis which reduces steering accuracy and may affect the ESP /yaw control computer's parameters.
