Well...I meant a wider stance. More of an offset look.

i'd say at least 10mm, but maybe as much as 20mm. you'd want to get the ones that have extended studs. dont get the cheap ones from Pep Boys or something. you should expect to pay at least $100 or more for nice spacers.

Weird. My s-techs are opposite. Very low in the front and much higher in the rears...

I must ask with those rims and tire sizes. My rims are 18x9" and i was planning on getting 275's however your rims are an inch and a half wider and your running a smaller tire and they look pretty good. So are the 265's stretching a little or do they fit fairly well?

got a chance to drive around with these the past couple days. damn do they feel good. with the extra weight lost, acceleration is much better. the feedback is definitely there now. i was getting a little understeer with my other wheels. i'm very impressed with the performance so far. i'm still trying to break them in too so i haven't done anything too crazy yet.

i must say they look terrible. i'll bite the bullet and let you send them to me so you can go back to your old wheels. i'm just that generous

j/k they look awesome and once your other changes you mentioned come together it will look that much more consistent.
