Spacers Installed on Wheels

Got a set of 15mm ichiba hub centric spacers. The quality of them is great and a snap to install since the studs are pressed into the spacer. Here are the pics on just the one side. I will now have to order another set as I think 15mm will be perfect on all 4 corners.
I'm dropped on 350z h&r sport springs, the rims are 18x8 40mm offset (now a 25mm) and the tires are 245/40/18.

Before Front


After Front


Before Rear


After Rear

does the passenger side rear wheel looks a bit more flushed than the rear driver side?

Spacers FTW!

Spacers even make stockers look much better. Hella Flush!

That is because its a 18x8, if it was a 18x8.5 it would look more aggressive.

I will try to get some more pics up tomorrow, the damn battery crapped on the camera.
As of right now I only have them installed on the passenger side, I have ordered the other set though, so next week it should be here and put on.
I wanted to see how much I could do, I could prolly get away with 20mm, but didn't want it to be too aggressive.
Right now the rears aren't rolled, if they need to be done, then they will get rolled.
It's 25 offset now, but you've got to also remember that's not on the typical 8.5 front fitment or 9.5 rear fitment, it's on an 8 fitment.

Thanks for the comments.

^^^^Exactly what I said, even though it looks like I could go with 20mm in the rear and be fine.
