Default wheel spacers - size & cost

20mm in rear and 17mm in front is definately the way to go. Do not think less as you will regret it. They line up with the outside fender. If you slam it then this may not work!!

I have found the hub centric - (4) delivered under $150! This is less than half of the H & R spacers.
Also easy to install . It really gives noticeable handling improvements and the wider stance is really nice!! It drives as smooth as without the spacers.

So for anyone interested, it is a DIY low cost mod upgrade for real performance and asthetics.

personal preference...i don't regret it. 10 & 12mm work great, for the look i prefer.

regardless...i am glad you are satisfied with the size you selected.

cheers!

20mm in the rear should be okay. I think I use more than 20mm.

Here is the result:

that's with an aftermarket rim though. would it be similar with the stock rim? i've seen andrews pics and they look pretty good. i haven't seen a 20mm on a stock wheel --

Even my aftermarket wheels has a lower offset compared to OEM wheels.
So 20mm on my wheels means thicker spacers for OEM wheels.
Plus my aftermarket is wider than OEM.

from andrew's picture:


Looks like there is a good 10mm gap between tires and fender.

OK, so where do we order them from? $150 shipped... sounds like a decent deal.
