Default new 20mm spacers installed

here are some picks. I installed 20mm Novustech spacers on all 4 corners. Very happy with the result. No rubbing just yet. wheels are not flush, the rubber part is out 3-5vv outside the fender.

the look of the wheels deep inside the wheel well and the fender sticking out bothered me big time. 250 dollars and 30 minutes of work made it look way better.
I am thinking of Eibach springs as well. the car needs to be lowered about an inch.

Would there be a problem with service or warranty if the dealer sees spacers when rotating the tires?

Interesting, any negative handling effects?

You don't have the Sports Package, correct?

Answering all the questions

- my dealer told me there will be no problems with warranty etc. plenty of cars they service have spacers

- no negative handling whatsoever. I expect an improvement actually since the wheelbase is larger now.

- i DO have a sports package with 20' wheels

Looks amazing man. I've been wanting to do this upgrade a while back too but always wondered what it would look like.
In the pics however, I cant tell fully how it would look so if u dont mind telling me, does it give u a more aggressive stance than original stock? cuz thats what im looking for. I have the sport package with 20" wheels as well like you do.

Thanks in advance
Great job!

Yesterday I ordered ECS 17.5mm for the front and 20.0mm for the rear. I'll also post before and after photos when I get them installed.
