oh i hate people going air, mostly coz' i can't afford it but yeah, imho that's where the fun is, pushing the envelop and getting to the limit

ah for a bit more aggressive setup i think these would be great. going straight to 9+20 and 10.5+25 i would be a bit scared

I believe that was what we ended up with after the 15mm spacers for the front and rear. Correct me if I'm wrong but the offsets on the set we put on were 20x9 +20 & 20x10.5 +45? I saw on another car site that were selling your wheels and the CV1s came in 20x10.5 +42?

Looking good Ron!! Its all about dialing in that fitment, something I need to do. I can't wait to see it in person. And when you are ready to go air, you know who to come to talk to

Actually good question. Here is a link from Henry on a DIY or you can take it to a reputable shop. I had Kyoei USA do mine. Jin does excellent work.

EK9 can you confirm that because, my front wheel is +32 and I have measured it and a 15mm will bring it flush if not poke out just a bit. According to my calculations a +20 would have brought me dead on if not a hair under. The rear is the same at +45 with 15 mm spacer.

Hey Cesar thanks, Actually Jin was going to install them yesterday but I had other appointments to get to but got bored in the afternoon so I decided to try one on and loved the looked but no way I could drive it that way without screwing up my tire so I plan on bringing it to Jin to get a thorough test fit and modify the fenders as needed to make it work
Definitely, if I go air....still considering Hydro's

funny, i have +20 on a 9" wheel for my fronts, and i added a 5mm spacer. could almost use another 2 to 3mm. rears are 10.5 +25, and they are pretty much as flush as i want them. +20 would be awesome, but would require more work to fit. they look good at that offset though!

Quick and easier way would be just to take your 15mm spacers in the rear and put it in front to find out. I don't have any wheels to be sure. Take some pics if you do and let me know what you come up with as well.

I have two pairs of Ichiba 20mm V2 bolt on spacers if anyone is interested? I installed them on stock 18" wheels and they caused a lot of shaking.

These spacers were purchased directly from B2Auto here on CL

Don't know yet cuz I was just doing a test fit to see how it looked. I'm leaving now to meet with my friend at his shop and we are going to doing some more test fitting and fender work if needed. But as Mike stated he had them on his car with no issues.
