Here is a picture/spec of my setup:

19x9 +45 spaced to +20 with a 25mm spacer.

245/35 FK452 tires

Camber settings are front: -2.6 rear: -2.0

The fronts/rears were pulled slightly.

Recently happened before my pull up front:



How it looks now after the pull:

So 20mm spacers can work with the stock studs? By that I mean so they wont protrude out too much to the point where it prevents the wheel from mounting?

Looks good bro. The spacers did the rims good. The fitmint looks awesome. Funny ****. I have the Autobahn front bumper painted the "Exact" same way. With the air holes painted black. I picked it up from KelsRx8 for a hundred bucks b4 he sold his car. I usually use it for track days. But I recently had it painted again so I just might use it for shows.

Sifu can you tell me who did the rear inner fender stuff (rear bumper tab and all that plastic stuff) for you? I'm gonna be moving to Houston soon and would like to get my car done too.

I'm thinking you mean the stock studs hit the back of the wheel? I have 10mm project kics on right now. 10mm would have a harder time working than 20mm in that case right? It's something you have to check on the rim and not universal afaik.

After studying that pic, the only thing I would think would make it just a little better, is to bring the front out 10mm or so, but if I'm reading your spec's correctly, thats gona require a big *** spacer(bigger than what you have).

I didn't figure the front had that much room. DAMN. 18x9 +20 w/ 2.6 camber and you still have room under the front.

I am using the spacers with the built in studs. But in certain cases when I had extended studs and tried the 25mm spacers...the extended studs didn't work with my wheels because the wheels holes didn't line up with it.

Picked it up about 1-2 months ago. I had a killer deal on it.

Haha I still have mines. It is my daily lip since my school area roads are horrible

I did it myself. Whenever you come down hit me up and we can set something up.

Yeah I was shocked. Before the pull it looked amazing until I cheeseburgered my front fenders. I am waiting for a new setup sometime soon hopefully with a more aggressive offset/width

Like I said in the other thread, the car looks great. Just goes to show what a bit more drop + pushed out wheels can do.

Sick stuff man, a modded FC vert is a more fun drive than a modded rx8 any day, especially AT.
