Gary doesnt approve which I can agree with, but I feel like my bearings are gonna get worn either way weither I lower it with or without spacers so I figure I might as well. That plus I hate the look of my wheels sunken into my car. So for the time being until I get new shoes I think spacers would be ok. Your car is looking good euro, cant wait to see some with the rears installed. No rubbing on the front?

^^well im not doing spacers because they are to take the place of wheels, they come a FAR second to wheels. But then again the wheels i want wont come cheap so rather than buying cheap wheels id rather stick to doing what i can with the oem wheels, i guess that is hard for some people to understand, but to the people who do understand id gladly help them out..

anyways moving on

no rubbing in the front, I was reaaly suprised that even when turning there are no problems, hopefully tho the front wont appear to be sticking out more than the rear even tho its the same size spacer and the difference in offsets is kept the same

but yah pix shud be coming this weekend

Yea thats the same spot im in. The wheels I want have a heavy price tag and the wheels are heavier unless you start dropping some big dollars.

Im also curious to see how the front compare to the rear with both on. Have you tried leaning into turns really hard yet? When I drive I like to have fun sometimes and ill lean hard into a corner. You think youll rub with that kind of momentum?

You do understand that it's the same thing as running low offset wheels!!!
