what tire size are you running?

looks ok from the side and front.

Do you mind posting pics from the the back so 1. I can see how flush it is and, 2. So I can see how wide the wheels are. Thankyou.

It isnt any harder on the bearings than a low offset wheel is. There are lots of D1 cars that run spacers (many run Prject Kics) during events and have no problems at all.

I see that the car looks lowered, but can all of you guys really see that the wheels are pushed out? From the pictures I can't really tell. Do you have any "before" pictures to compare? Take a picture from behind one of the rear corners, where we can see how rear and front wheels sit against the body, I think this will show more.

how much did u pay for the spacers? looks like a "quick fix" for those that are lowered on OEM 19s to make it look more flush. please post pics from the front and pack. we can't really tell from the side pics you took.

I know that the H&R Trac+ Spacer's come with extended bolts as well.

To the thread starter:
I was also thinking of getting spacer's for my stock 18's, 25mm Rear and 15mm Front to make them more flush.
1) Do you have any rubbing issues while taking corners hard?
2) Total Cost? H&R's are ($270 on ebay) for 15mm/25mm shipped.
3) 25mm rear too much?

Thanks

Btw, I am also considering widening my stock wheels to 10" so I can fit 285's and it also won't look wierd from the rear.

Very nice - I think I'll order a set. The car should've come like this stock. Its been a pet peeve of mine that the wheels are not flush with the fender.

Now that you have them would you change anything? The rears looks really flush but the fronts look like they could come out a bit more.

Any chance you get a few shots w/o the shadow and a shot directly from behind the car, bumper level.

Again, nice mode.
