Smile 20mm Spacers on the rear

what do you think? I could have pushed 25mm now that I see them on the car. Looks much better and handles better since the aftermarket rims are gone. I have 15mm for the fronts on the way still so more to come

enjoy

Looks good. For the front wheels take before and after pictures so we can see the difference.

Looks good. Take a pic of the whole car from the side, but at an angle.

haha...its more then just slapping on 25mm....your car is different then outs and so are your offests since I rolled the fenders I "may" have been able to got the extra 5mm but it would have been close call. I am okay with it

I will post more pics later....its dirty so let me clean it up.

Tints are off also

I was thinking of attempting 3mm generic spacers on top of the 20mm....it would be perfect and it may just work. On Sunday I will play around with it to see

15mm fronts due in on the 15th...

passnu2- The spacers definitely improve the sunken stock offest. Looks good.

What kind of spacers did you use, and are they hubcentric?

passnu2-Your spacers look good, but yep you need to wash that thing.




sc300STED - you beat me to the hubcentric question.

yeah get hubcentric spacers. my Kic's dont have it because I requested not to, certain rims I ordered wont fit the spacers I have so I can't have no hub. lol.

Mike question, if you're making the car back to stock, such as sellin the rims, and removing tint, why are you installing spacers?

mainly for looks as I dont want to remove the lowering springs. the rest of the stuff is 90% gone so I can sell these to another member when i am done. I probably wont sell the car till next spring....

I had 3mm spacers so I threw them on this weekend just to see and its perfect now. So now its 23mm in the rears...Still waiting on the fronts to come but it should be flush both front and rear. I will update with more pics when the others are on the car. Car drives so nice with the rears on. put 500 miles on the car this weekend and I am impressed with the improvements!
