Default Couple of Pix TT wheels spaced out

Well heres a deal, got these spacers for My g/fs GS400 25mm Front/38MMrear to push out the Factory 10 spoke GS3 wheels that are on her car. Meanwhile i was looking at my TT wheels(car is lowered on stock struts with Espelir springs btw) and the rear was almost there but the front is way sunken in. So i decided to try them out and see what i needed to correct this issue. I got a pretty good idea now 25mm is pretty much perfect for the rear but 38mm is a little too much, i think a 35 or 33 would be def good. Either way gotta roll the fenders with these, which i dont mind doing.

Ebay, but actually really good quality stuff, it was under 200 for all 4, if you search on ebay for 5x114.3 38mm spacer the sellers name is like drift something.

I've got to be honest. I like it better without the spacers.
