Spacers

15's all the way around is probably the way to go. Had them painted Titanium Gun Metal

Here's my sedan on ichiba 15mm front and 20mm rear spacers. The offsets are now at +25 front and +20 rear. I've had them on for about 2 months and have liked the quality and look they've given so far.

good deal and thanks for responding. I ordered a set of 20's yesterday. The Ichiba lock nut isn't the best design IMO. I'm assuming the same 80-85Lb torque specs would apply to the spacers as well. I'll see when I torque them how well the locking key works. Anyone else that has already torqued them, please chime in

Well, I installed the 15mm/20mm spacers today. I did the test drive and the fronts rubbed. Raised the front coilovers 3/4" and the problem was fixed. Doesn't have the same drop but still looks ok and it's an almost even drop front and back. I gave up a bit of drop for some added width up front which was worth it. I'll get some new pics up soon.

I'm still trying to decide on how big I want my spacers for the OEM Rays.
This is one of the reasons why I'm still in limbo with my decision.

Based on this picture, I think I'm going to go Project Kics 15mm all around.
What do you guys think? Does anyone have a picture with 15mm on OEM Rays from the back of the G? I'd appreciate it a lot!
