Wheel spacers

Wondering if anyone has put wheel spacers 10MM or 15MM on their C32? I would like to see photographs to get an idea of the difference. Don't want them sticking out, but it looks as though the wheels could be moved out some for a better appearance...

I have some 10mm spacers on the rear with the stock 245's and they look awesome. Why I hadn't done it sooner was beyond me. Fill out the wheel well perfectly. I think the widest they have for the front is 5mm though.

Do either of you have photographs with the spacers on? Would really like to see! Thinking about 10MM for front and rear. Might take those spacers off your hands moosejaw. Not sure yet...

Shoot, I just took them off yesterday as I went to a 255 tire in the rear. Sorry. But I can pretty much guarantee you will like the look. It's a must do as far as looks go.

Hey Moosejaw, did you cut off the lip on the 10mm spacers to go on the front? From everything I've read, the lip on the 10mm spacers won't go on the front hub. I'd like to put 10mm's on my front too.

I have the H&R 10mm spacers on front and back on OEM wheels. I really like the way it looks!

What brand was it, I think I looked on H&Rs' website and they only listed 5mm fro the front.

TIA!

I've got 5mm on my front and rear wheels. Looks great, handling is as sharp as ever. Photos in my album are with these spacers.

RLx02, did you need to do anything to get those wide wheels/tires to fit? any rubbing?

The rear fenders are rolled but it still rubs like a biatch. Its the plastic trim on the bumper thats causing the rubbing actually.

I personally would not try to fit 285/35/18's again because even when I'm by myself, going over some large divots or small bumps it slightly rubs.

Next time I'm buying 16" wheels with MT's rather than streetable drag radials.

i just ordered 5mm eibach fronts and 10mm rears and now i got an email saying they are sold out of the 5mm fronts... apparently everyone else is too... anyone know where i can get some 5mm or 10mm front spacers? eibach doesnt make 10mm fronts.. would it be a bad idea to use h&r fronts and eibach rears?

GTAwd, did you buy spacers for your C32? What did you end up going with?

Moosejaw, you still have the spacers for sale?
