opinions....


i have an 01 gs3 on stock silver 16s, with all season tires with a 60 sidewall. eventually i plan on grabbing some 18's or 19's once i can either sell my stereo stuff or trade it for the rims, but I'm considering spacers even before then to try and make it look a little meaner than before, and then that way i'll already have spacers ready for the 18s or 19s.


any thoughts guys?


also, pic request for spacers on stock wheels/tires if possible...

ok, that looks pretty sick any recommendations on type/size of spacer to use? i.e. are some better than others? i think i might go 30 in the rear 20 or 25 in the front.

any adverse effects for using spacers on the front?

I prefer H&R brand but use a spacer or adapter that's hub centric, and i think 25mm is perfect for the rear, right now the front don't have any, maybe I'll use only a 15mm up front at some point...

Get spacers now if you want to make the OEM setup more flushed. Don't get it if you plan to use it later. For the future, I would just plan on getting wheels with better specs so that you don't have to use spacers.
