Thanks for the comments guys. So far I've had no rubbing or bottoming out with the Teins. I really would like to do spacers, but I've heard so much back and forth regarding if they are a good idea on our cars I've put them on hold....And S4Play, those amber reflectors are on the way out ASAP...

Looks great!

Spacers are not the best for long term use but if you don't drive your F too often, putting spacers will be fine or until you get bigger wheels.

They're for aesthetics, not performance. They screw up the suspension geometry by altering the scrub radius and cause the wheel bearings to wear out prematurely.

But they look cool. If that's your primary goal, keep them on the car. If it isn't you need to rethink why they're on there.
