NF's, 8mm spacers on rear, painted calipers. Sorry for the low lighting, I will take pics outside another day. The spacers and calipers made such a huge difference. I never knew how much offset really came into play, it's a world of difference considering my wheels were only 8.5 wide. I would like to go with 10mm or even bigger on the rear, but the biggest they had in stock were 8mm, and it allowed me to keep my factory lug nuts. I will probably put at least 10mm on the rear, and 8mm on the front in the near future. The shop also painted all the rusted areas of the brakes that could be painted, it really made a world of difference. I wanted to keep everything clean and subtle so I went with black for the calipers.
Total cost of spacers plus painting the calipers was $85, not too shabby.

Thanks guys. Yea, the stickers are nice. Put a few coats of high temp clear coat over top of them and they will last for as long as you have the car. I wanted to do the calipers myself, but when my shop said $65, sold. I would have had to buy a thin wall socket, breaker bar etc, and they did it in 3 hours and I didn't have to break a sweat
