Is there any way you could take pictures of looking inside the wheel from the outside. I'm curious how much of the spacer you can see when looking at the wheel?
Thanks
I wish my 2020 was slightly lower. But again with AVS, I'm very weary of putting lowering springs on it due to it probably causing the shock to die faster or leak... I don't think there is a coilover yet made for AVS.. or that would ideally be the way to go. Until they come up with a solution that isn't going to affect the shock, I'm going to hold on on anything that lowers the car.
Yes coilovers with AVS is ideal. Stock shocks on ‘17 are already blowing lol on stock springs.

Bolt-on spacers bolt on to the existing wheel studs, with small open-ended lug nuts, then the wheel mounts to new studs that are built into the spacer.
Generally, bolt-on spacers are easier to initially install since you don't have to replace the lug studs. However, there is some debate about the safety of this style spacer, specifically when used in sizes smaller than 20mm on a heavy vehicle.
I've used both styles on different cars over the years. Currently have 15mm DRS front and rear on my RCF. Torqued with a torque wrench, and no issues even on track days, I personally wouldn't track a bolt-on spacer. Also brake maintenance is quicker/easier since I don't have to deal with trying to unbolt a spacer to remove rotors or adjust e-brake shoes, etc.
I've never used spacers before.. .always kinda turned my nose up to them just from hearing people complain about either issues or ball joints wearing out faster..etc. But it seems like a lot of folks use them here with no issues.

Thank you for the pics! Not as bad as what I had invisioned in my mind. If they were powder coated black they would blend right in honestly.
Here are close ups of 20 mm. 15 mm should be quite safe both front and back. Though. I love both more aggressive look and the very planted/sure-footed feel with the wider track widths. Makes the tires stay on the contact patch a lot more
