Wheel Spacer mod

Hey guys I don't quite know if this is the right venue for this post but I thought I would seek some advice from my canadian brothers.

I am seriously concidering getting spacers for my wheels, I went over my idea with t7n7 but would like to get some more rounded ideas from you all regarding configurations and other issues that may arise with this mod. I was thinking going like 2"rear and 1.5" front? I am going to keep the car relatively stock until I get some more big $$$$ in the bank to do some serious bodywork on her.

Thanks

If you get the eibach Hub-Centric spacers you would not feel any difference...they are made from Aircraft-Aluminuming Alloy and I actually have the rear 25mm right now and it looks real agressive and I would let them go if you are interested. I am planning on throwing on my coilovers this weekend and they would not work with my drop as my tires are too wide. I have system 4 illustrated below. w/ studs

Awesome, thanks for the info. Hmm yeah I think I might be interested in taking a look at those 25mm of yours, hook me up with some info and maybe I can take those off your hands. I am hoping to get the right spacers in time for the meet but want to make sure it's the right piece of the puzzle for my car.

IchibaV2 seem to be the most recommended out there right now.
I'm running them on my 08.
Several of the site vendors carry them.

Red Demon, I'm very interested in getting wheel spacers as well, I'm kind of getting tired of walking up along side the car and seeing how deep in the rims sits.

Keep us up to date!

I'm rocking the Ichiba V2 25mm all around. There's plenty of my pics with them on my car if you wanna check it out. The fronts are almost perfectly flush, the rears could use a bit more though. I wouldn't go any more than 25mm though, because the wheels themselves are really narrow (only 8.5") and it would look lame if you push them out that much.

InTgr8r, IVRY PRL how does it feel with the icibah v2 spacers on? Does it drive different? Is there a noticable difference?

I'm thinking of the icibahv2 at this rate.

Do you need extended lugs for going 25 mm?

Yeah I toally feel the same way bro, it's actually starting to bother me a little. The car just looks so much better with them. I will definitely keep you informed on how it goes.
