Even though the spacers are hub centric I noticed some front end shake which I'm blaming on the front spacers. Guess I will know if this is really the cause when I mount the new tires.
spacers look a lot different on a lowered car and also fill the wheel well out in a different fashion (even at 20mm rear). respdoc...also has different rims on his car and the offset is probably different than stock...this will also change the end result & look with spacers and their mm sizing. i haven't had any troubles with front end shake...my car is smooth as glass with the h&r spacers on front & rear. respdoc...keep us up-to-date on the outcome.
i think it really comes down to a personal preference (as to have far you want to push the rims outward). i like to keep the top of the rim/tire just a tad inside the top of the wheel well area.
hope this is helpful. cheers!
