Default Most of the people here have used spacers with STOCK wheels - things change alot when you start

introducing aftermarket wheels into the mix. What is the width? Stock is 7" width with a 32 Offset I beleive. I have 18x8.5's with a 30 mm offset. The affect of 25mm spacers on my wheels would be much different then on stock. So take that into consideration when looking at spacers.

Default True, and I am using 8mm hubentrics on my AEZ's @ the front ,

And by comparing clearances with my OEM 17" rims it looks like I have clearance for Big brakes.
No to mention the fact I needed the spacer to be able to lower the car as much as I wanted, due to tire and spring perch interfernce.

Default H&R does make the 10mm, and also 12mm now, problem is that>>>

the cone portion is too large for and does not allow the spacer to sit flush on the rim. If you have aftermarket wheels, you'll have to remove the hubcentric ring. Same problem goes for the 8mm.

How come you all use spacers? Why not get proper Offset? BTW what is the stock TT wheel OS?

Default Anytime you lower you induce more camber. Spacers make it worse....>>

Because you're moving the fulcrum point out further.....think Kmac.....

Default 8-10mm is all I'd go on the fronts - do you have pics of the fronts with the 8's?

I don't want them sticking out past the fender lip.
