I actually like your set up. Usually not a fan of those headlights but they work with the sporty style you seem to be pushing for. Door molds aren't that bad to me, I think you just need some spacers for an all around flush look and maybe a degree of negative camber for a nice stanced look... Since you're already lowered it would pull everything together.

Lol, I know this is probably a stupid question and I believe I know the answer

But what do spacers do?

Push the tire out?

Exactly. Spacers push the wheel out further from the inside making the wheel more flush with the body. For wheels with high off sets on our cars, like anything over +10 you would use spacers to lower the off set and make the wheels "fit" better. This also gives the car a wider and more aggressive look.

So what spacers would I need to line my tires up with the body?

I measure from the furthest point out at the top of your tires.... Meaning from that point to the outside of the fender. Measure in millimeters because that's the way they are sold. Make sure you get our Hub size 66.1 and that they are HUBCENTRIC. With a slight lip to rest the inside of your wheels on. I'm running 25mm all around myself, wheels were regularly 30+ in front and 33+ in the rear. So now I'm at 5+F and 8+R. Most members would not recommend going beyond 25mm spacers as it tends to increase excess wear on the wheel bearings.
