I'm sorry, I like it better without...I like the way the well hangs over the tire.

Lets see what it looks like from more of distance. I'd like to see if it changes the stance of your car. Looks good so far.

Looks good with those spacers. Let's see a picture of the entire car.

young

hi,

actually, i don't have the spacers. that's tommy's car w/ them. i think they're just simple installs.

we're having the edison, nj meet in a couple of weeks and i'll try to take pics of the whole car then and then post them.

Damn man... wash that car... please!

I like them with spacers.... makes the wheels look wider and makes it so the rim does not look like its hiding

Are there any benefits or harmful effects by installing spacers?

brabus c

from what i hear and my assumptions depending on how many and how thick the spacers are they are surpose to be safe enough to drive with...but the bolts for the wheels do get shortened cuz of the spacers so i would guess you dont as good as a hold as you would normally... but they say its fine...iono

it looks great with spacer..but i would prefer it if the spacer were larger..

I was reading that you can just buy a set of longer bolts and have no worries at all

young

argh! it was raining! :p i am so ashamed...

tommy

Yep - ordered mine with the spacers. Don't know why anyone would use the old bolts with 'em. That would be too scary!

Bos

I hear ya man... I know the feeling!

i have H&R 15mm spacers in the rear running 17x8 wheels with 235/40/17s. They still seems a bit tucked in. I'm thinking of getting 245s instead to see if it will help. Been driving on them for months (about 4 months) and have gone over 120mph and no problem. Two things: yes you'd want longer bolts, just go by local Discount Tire, take one both out, add approx 20mm or less and order the new one (mine was just some Rhino brand or something) $1.50 a piece. 2nd thing is to only put spacers in the rear and not in the front: apparently its safer this way...not sure why but your fronts shouldn't really need it. I sorta regretted not getting 20mm spacers.

i was very pleased with the way the 15mm spacers looked on my car. Much more aggresive.
