Default Looking for pics...gs rear wheel spacers on stock wheels

I'm going to be lowering the car after winter time on tein cs' but i don't have the money for the wheels i want, too. so my stock 16's are going to have to cut it for a little while anyway. does anyone have pics of either their car lowered on the factory 16s OR pics of it just with the H&R 25mm rear wheel spacers just so i can get an idea of how much it pushes them out. thanks,

-george

I am wondering the same thing as I may be getting ready to go back to stock while I finish the car up and save for my wheels

what are the issues with spacers? creeking or handling issues? vibrations?

also would love to see pics, mine will be using the 17" chrome 5 spoke...

Assuming you use H&R 25MM spacers there are no issues, torque them properly and enjoy, they push stock 17's flush with the wheel wells, I've had them on lowered and non lowered cars with no rubbing.

I am running the 25mm spacers also on the stock 17" chrome wheels. They look fantastic. I have no desire to upgrade the wheels after getting the spacers. My car is lowered with Tein CS v.2 as low as the front will go (and rear to match front). Sorry no picture at the moment. I'll see if I have any -- don't really take many photos of my car.

Tein Flex Coilovers lowered a good amount with 25mm spacer Rear 20mm spacer front.

Now that looks real good. Hows your ride quality? SMOOTH as stock? Or stiff and bouncy?
