Lookin' much better! I recently got spacers for my stock wheels too, but 15mm/20mm f&r on 18x8 et45 3GS stockers. The fitment is identical to yours since yours are 17x8 et50 but with 20mm/25mm f&r instead.

Your car looks more agressive with this fitment. Definitely money well spent

You ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY need extended studs with these size spacers. The front studs come out easy, just bang them out. The rears, if I remember correctly, you have to remove the rotors, then bang out. Hope that helps

aaaactually. the rears do not need extended lugs. these spacers are so thick they cover the entire length of the stock lugs. the spacers have new lugs already pressed into them that you bolt the wheels onto.

Should be OK. I am using 15MM front and 20MM rear w/ 18x8 +45MM (245/40/18 tires). Looks like i could have ran MP's setup and would have cleared.

MP.. looking good..
