spacer pics: OEM 18's with 15/20mm (frt/rr)

I remember seeing picture requests for spacers on OEM 18" wheels but couldn't find the thread. Anyways, here are the pics...I should have taken before and after from the same angles, there is such an improvement (in my opinion anyways)....

Looks good. any before pics for comparison


Did you install the spacers-- how involved is the installation? do the tires rub the fenders(with or w/o people)?

The spacers are H&R. Installation is quite a bit more difficult than for Ichiba. The brakes had to come off to install the longer studs. It took me close to 3 hours. If I did it a second time it would take 2 hours.

There is no fender rub and no fender rolling needed. It looks really close.

I'll try to find some before pics with similar angles.
