Default SPACERS: The Flush look w/ STOCK 16's

Whats up CL?? I've been on here for a few months now, but never posted pics. Here's your first glance at my ride. I bought it about 3 months ago and have since done a few mods. I've added spacers on all 4 wheels which have made them sit quite perfect w/ the fenders. So far, no rub at this ride height...so I might drop it more.

Front spacers: 1"
Rear spacers: 1.5"

ENJOY!!!

i don't know man, a 50mm might pu too much stress on the bearing and the studs.

i have to admit thats a nice clean look i like it. how well did the lug nuts fit on the studs after the spacers? did you have to change your studs?

SO True!!! I've been meaning to TINT my ride. I'm thinking 20%-30% all the way around. I should have this done before the end of the month. It's honestly my next mod.

Thank you again! i'm trying to keep it clean. this is my "daily-driver", and so far, i've been very happy with it.
The lugs fit PERFECTLY!!! they bolt right up with no problems, and the wheel mounts back on FLUSH w/ absolutely no gaps. I've driven it a decent amount and so far i've experienced no problems. i'm actually going to be taking them all off soon because i bought new rims, so i won't be needing them anymore. but it was definitely worth having them!!!
-I'LL KEEP YOU GUYS POSTED FOR WHEN I SELL THEM. As you can see, they're worth doing!!!

i actually bought them from a local manufacturer here in Cali. i don't remember the name, but they're definitely US-Made, and they're good quality. Very similar to H&R & Eibach. I'll post pictures once I sell them. Probably in the next week or so...

THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE, AND KEEP THE COMMENTS COMING!!!

I'm trying to get $100 shipped for these. I paid almost double that amount less than 2 months ago. They're good to go with all bolts included. Let me know CL, or just PM me.
