True. What size spacers do people usually do?

I got my last two tires this morning so all I have to do is put everything together! Now I just need the access to the tools! haha

i would say most people run a 20MM. Commonly just depends on the original offset of the wheels.

The offset/sizing I run most on my GS was 19 x 9.5 +0 and 10.5 +0. For my LS Im thinking of running the same sizes. But its nice to have some headroom, just incase you dont want to pull so much. So look up wheel offset calculators if you cant do it in your head like I can. For example an 8 1/2" rim to equal the stance of a 9.5" +0 setup would need to be effectively running a -10-15mm offset. Maybe more, as im just quickly doing the math here.

Thanks guys. Sean, couldnt have done it without you hah. Im starting to like these sp1's more then my leon hardiritts. Ive always loved sp1, had a set on my old s14 also. Id rather have s1 3pc but they cost a lot more haha. The style of these wheels go good with almost any car.

Just goes to show that really as long as the wheels are fitted/flushed out the car will look legit. Most faces are sooo subject to opinion anyways. I just love watching a flush car rolling down the street. Then once it pulls up to the light do I decide if I like their wheel choice or not. But either way I usually give thumbs up to fitted cars more than non fitted cars. Sunk VOLKS, Works, SSR's ect, look like poop compared to fitted XXR's when there rolling LOL....

its all aired out but my tire is holding the car up but hoping this weekend to adjust my camber to neg 11 or 13 so my rear can tuck and ride even lower. currently my camber is at neg 8.
