a question about wheel spacers for stock 18's

does anyone know how much these costs, what size i need, and are they easy to install?

my car is lowered on tein s-techs with factory 18's and i would like to get some spacers to make my rear wheels more flush with the fender...

my rear wheels are cambering a bit, but will these spacers improve the look or make it look worse?

don't do it. you'll be jeopardizing the integrity of your wheels-to-hub connection for no reason by adding 1 sheer surface. if you *want* to do it, make sure you buy longer hub bolts (nismo) and use hub-centric spacers.

stop scarying everyone... =)
he could always purchase project kics spacers.
they aren't the normal pot spacers but are actual spacers w/ new studs pressed in.. installation is as easy as unbolt wheel bolt in spacer and bolt wheel.

I'm thinking about ordering a set of 15mm Front and 20mm Rear. Contact AutoRnD....they have a KICs brand set for the Front and Rears with 4 hubcentric rings for $260 shipped. A pretty good deal. They have built in studs so it's as easy as taking off and putting on your set of wheels. Can't be any easier than that.

This setup looks great on the OEM 19inch wheels but but I'm wondering if I'll need a 25mm set for the Rears since we have the 18inchers.

If anyone else has some pics or actual experience with 18inchers and a good size of spacer for the rears, please chime in.

i've dealt w/ numerous 18 / 19's
and to be perfectly honest.
the 15/20 is a pretty good match
if you went 25 rear then you may have rubbing issues depending on what tire and what size tire you run

I have 25mm spacers all around....

and I get TONS of compliments on my car. It's the only mod (besides tint) that I have.

I have the stock 18s w/ Brembos, and the wheels are PERFECTLY flush the fenders and looks very agressive. No rubbing at all.

i'm probably going to be selling a set of these soon for a very good price. 15mm front 20mm rear. anything more seems pretty extreme, especially for stock width tires...
