20mm spacers front/rear on OEM 17" Coupe rims

Just took pictures since no one else seems to have pictures of spacers on OEM 17" coupe offset rims. These are my winter rims/tires, I swap them on/off with my OEM 19" when it gets dry out to preserve the tread life I'll probably keep them on permanently until snow stops now that they have an aggressive stance instead of being seriously tucked in.

These are hub/wheel centric spacers that I bought from ebay and have had them for over 1,500miles with no vibration issues (20mm all around). They are a no-name brand, solidly built with flawless quality and fitment upon shipping that I bought here http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/20MM-...spagenameZWDVW .. Time Will tell how they hold up. But here are pictures of 20/20mm all around:






The difference is more dramatic in person, especially when viewed from the rear slightly off axis.

yes, I think the rears can go another 5mm.

I notice that too. I'll have to get my alignment checked when the snow melts.

Thanks! Those size spacers would look better than my 20/20. Your current set-up must be seriously tucked in though.

yes, even with the current 20/25 setup its still pretty tucked, even worse last year when I didn't have any spacers but I don't really care, they are only on the car for 3 months and I don't drive it much in the winter anyways

Yes, buts warmer than it has been We've been mainly below average so far this year.

I'm going to take more pics after I do a swap tonight.

I'm going to take the OEM 19" rears and move them to the front w/o spacers and move the OEM 19" fronts to the rears w spacers(I'm running 245/40/19's all around). That should give me a more even tuck I hope. I just realised I'm not a fan of a flushed look (but not a fan of the serious tucked look either, some took is great for me) on a non-lowered car.

Why? the OEM 19" rears are wider, putting them in the front would be a very bad idea IMO even if you are running the same sized tires all around. I don't understand how moving them to the front will give you more tuck either

The front 19X8's basically flushed with the 20mm spacers. If I remove the spacers, it'll be too tucked compared to the rears. Since the rears at a half inch wider (but with a 33et offset), but should push the wheel out farther up front running 19x8.5" 33et w/o spacers vs. 19x8" 30et w/o spacers without making it look completely flushed.

I understand there will be less contact patch even though I'm running 245's all around since there is a .5" difference in wheel width.

It's hard for me to explain the look I'm going for so I'm just going to try it.
