09 rx8 R3 wheel spacer
Alrighty so don't bite my head of right away, however iam thinking about 15 or 20mm wheel spacers on my R3 I want a more flush look but right now picking up new wheels isn't going to happen right now, plus I really do like the R3 wheels although mine could use some reconditioning as the previous owner obviously couldn't drive. Anyhow so does anyone have any insight on what a 15mm or 20 mm spacer may look like on the car. And has anyone herd of hubcentric are they good spacers? .. I do daily my R3

It can change the handling characteristics as well as add more stress on the wheel bearings. I would suggest going with a wider rim. It essentially gives the same appearance as well as add to the handling and traction without altering the geometry a great deal, thus giving your wheel bearings a normal lifespan.

^ I don't have too much knowledge about wheels, tires, spacers, etc.
But, I don't know if I totally agree with that. I don't see anything wrong with adding 15mm's all the way around on the stockers. Many people on here have added spacers larger and haven't had any problems (that I know of). A new set of rims is usually a lot of $$$. Plus, the R3 rims are PERFECT!
Then again, I could be wrong.

Btw, I got one of my R3 rims refurbished at a local detailing place. They do really high end cars, so I knew that I could trust them. My wheel looks straight from the factory now! (I think it was a couple hundred).
