Well i am getting everyhting i need to get the car back to summer mode, but when i put my supra TT rims back on i would like them to sit flush with the body. I rember from last lear they were recessed a little bit i dont rember how much but looked to be between .25in -.5in and was wondering if anyone has used spacers to push the tt rims out a little bit. If so what size did u guys use. thanks

Blizzy has spacers on his TT rims.

I love the look with 15mm on all 4 corners i think thats what ill order. I will just adjust the hight as low as possiable when i get to put on another new toy for spring the megan coilovers. This coilovers and custom cf lip should be a nice contribution. Thanks!

Since those photos with the spacers, I have swapped my Swift Springs for a more aggressive set of RSR Down Springs (-10mm more up front and -5mm more out back). With the additional camber inherited up front, a 25mm spacer would not be uncalled for to flush up the front. In the rear, the 20mm spacer would cause my 285 wide tires to rub with the fender. In the spring, I intend to get 255 wide front tires (versus 245) so that I can flush up the tires with the fender moreso and not have to purchase another set of spacers.
That being said, the rear tires appear much more flush than the front tires when on the car without spacers. They fill the wheel wells much better. I think the spacers have made a dramatic difference in the stance of the car, and I have noticed no fall out from the spacers. I have had the car up to ~100mph, and I even recently Superman-ed a curb sliding over some black ice. The spacers and extended lugs (as well as the entire car itself) did not miss a beat.
To pull on the 15R/20F spacer arrangement, you will need ~1.5" of drop for the inherited camber to tuck the tires under the fender. But, keep in mind that my camber is dialed completely out to the maximum that the factory alignment rods will allow to maximize tread life and straight line traction (-1.4R/-0.9F).
Nevertheless, the pictures I have taken should give you a good idea of what the car will look like with the spacers. As mentioned, I am a big fan of my current set up.

Well i went and just ordered 20 for all four corners. Fron what u have said i need new rear tires since they now look like a slick i hope i can get away with maybe a 275 rearand not rub while i still have half life on the 245's up front. I will be installing megan coilovers when i put the spacers on. Hopefully at the time also have access to a alignment rack so i can dial in everyhting and see if i can i can get away with 20mm in the rear if not ill have to get some 15's.
