Spacers

What's up fellas, if anyone is wondering what size spacers to run. I recommend 15 mm in the rear and you will need extended bolts.

I just had mine installed and the ride sits perfect. Will work on getting better pics.

Nice what did you go for on the front, again on my list to do as it's a nice subtle mod

Nothing on the front, not sure if it really needs it. The rear definitely needed it, 15mm is flush.

I would say NO! The rears look perfect to me. I can't tell the front.

I put 10mm Macht Schnell spacers on the rears only and initially I thought it looked like too little. A problem with the push out is that more garbage from the road (tar, stones, etc.) now hit/adhere to the area directly behind the rear tires. I'm constantly scrubbing tar off that portion of my car now.

Wow tar? Never heard or seen that. Maybe it has to do with the roads in South Florida are not bad at all. I have had them on for a week or so, maybe this weekend when I wash it I will notice the any extra road stuff...

yeah, they patch longitudinal cracks in the roads in NY with a high performance polymer asphalt mix a/k/a "tar snakes." When it gets hot it gets pliable and gets kicked up on to vehicles. PITA.
