Well take a look and let me know what you think about spacers.

What do you think about adding spacers to the stance WIDER!!.... 5mm?

I hope these pictures work. Car has been lowered 1.75 inches front and i believe back too or something similar....possibly 2inches

let me know what u think

Thanks fellas

One more thing....besides a front bumper... (DAMN SNOW) what other appearance mods would look rather ok ?

To be honest, from 50 to 45, there won't be much of a difference in terms of making the stance wider. Maybe from 50 to 35-40, it would be a bit more noticeable in pictures.

Did you already put the spacers on? I need to get some 5mm spacers to get my wheels to fit, but I keep hearing mixed opinions on them.

5 mm is too small to really notice, but its fine. adapters for upwards of 10 mm, though give it a wider stance,... is still an fat spacer.

how about some new wheels?

10mm spacers... that require fender roll and longer studs?

I tuck in the front a little bit of tire... if i go to wide i know i would probably rub...... yeah i'd love to get new wheels but right now that's not probable due to lack of funds


any website link on the 10mm spacers or .....???

Thanks

If you use a spacer you will have to roll the fenders and re-align them.

Then the tires will wear.

u wont need a fender rolling until u go over 12mm spacers i believe;

i have no idea for wheel studs but i think if u go over 10mm, u better have them changed but i believe u will still be able to put wheels on lol.

You should be able to run nearly a 20mm spacer front and rear to make it look flush.

Hit me up if you want my help sourcing them.
