Default Finally got my spacers just right!

I bought some H&R spacers (15/20) from achTTung and I liked the look, but I really wanted to know how it would look if I stepped it down by 5mm front and back.

After waiting a month for ECS to get the 10mm spacers back in stock and then having to order another 5 lug bolts (oops) I finally got everything installed.

I really like the new look with 10F/15R. I put them on Friday to get a feel for them and tonight I switched back to stock since I'm scared the tire place might mess something up when I have them mount my new wheel and balance the others tomorrow. The car looks so sad without any spacers.

I think reducing the spacers by 5mm really makes a huge difference in the look. Before it looked like the wheels were pushed out. Now it looks just right, very full without looking too aggressive. Nothing looks out of place.

I'm very pleased!

Default I'll drop those 20mm spacers by tomorrow so you can try them out.

You in the office tomorrow afternoon? I need to make a run to home depot at lunch so I'll be right there.

glad I'm not the only one with a driver's side headlight that doesn't line up quite right.
