The spacer bolts onto your existing lugs and then your rim bolts onto the lugs sticking out of the spacer.

LOL, i'm a retard, i was trying to think, how do the spacers work if you put the bolts through the holes and then tighten it down, the lug nuts would hit the wheel when you put it on...
I wasn't thinking the other way, Mark one up for being stupid today!

I also wanted to know the proper way to install some wheel spacers. I got my 200x about 2 months ago and the guy gave me some wheel spacers, they are the plastic kind, but not the round ones. I tried looking for a pic online but could find one. They are just the plastic spacer itself and 4 long bolts for each spacer. How would I install these onto my 200x? All the other spacers I see have small bolts. Does anybody use these kinds of spacers?

Hey no big deal man it took a little bit of me looking at them installed on a friend's 300ex a few years back to get it.

take the studs out of the hub & use the long bolts in the same place & slide the spacer over the bolts.
