Default Finally, Straight FLUSHNESS!!!
My brother came up to visit me and we decided to put my Ichiba spacers on. I've had them for so long and I've been itching to put them on since I couldn't stand how my wheel fitment wasn't totally flush like I wanted. It's just 10mm, but it was really bother me. Anyways, we started at 1pm and finished the job at 7pm. Totally missing the local Hooters meet, but it's all good, my fitment is flushhhhh now. Everything was easy, except installing new studs w/out all the right tools is hardddddddd as hell. That's why it took so freaking long. Here are some pictures though:

Before
@ HIN, notice how it's not flush up front:


After

Very nice my friend! You should push them out further with a tire stretch.

Nice and flush!

Buddy of mine got that effect with a retaining wall on the interstate @ 70, but your approach is much more user friendly.

Ouch! But yeah, this method is cheaper.

Once these tires go out on me, I'll be stretching a little fo sho. No worries there.

that looks real clean. Throw a bigger spacer on there and stretch that tire!! Lip protection is totally overrated
