Spacer help for wagon

Got the wagon set up today with 12mm rear and 15mm front spacers. Car is also lowered using the ebay module. Front tires look good, but rears are flush with fender, even appear to be sticking out a bit. Not sure I care for the look. According to Supreme Power running 10mm in back is not doable. Thinking about running 12mm in front and stock in back. Appreciate any feedback on pros/cons and any other suggestions.

Thanks,

The best or nothing
The main con is ruining a perfectly fine wagon with lowering

I run 15mm fronts and 12mm rears with no issues and sticking out... here is a clearer pic of the rears. I have the Supreme ones so make 100% sure you have 12mm in the rear and not 15mm? Further, once you drop the car the wheels will camber in slightly and you will not see that the wheel sticking out. (can you post pics please)

I'm running the same setup and my car looks fine. Perhaps they were installed with the 15's on the rear by accident?

I will post pics later. Rear wheels look about the same as yours jdhertz. Maybe I just need to get used to it. I raised the car slightly using the custom settings in the ebay module and looks better.

Time to re-sod the lawn. Lawyers have been fighting with the insurance company since the storm last September. Almost reached a settlement which will include all new grass!

I can't get pictures to format correctly when uploaded. They are way too big. What's the trick?

If you use the uploader here "manage attachments" button, it will auto resize for you. I usually use my phone app to resize my cell phone pics to something around 1900x1200 but even it its bigger the uploader here will do it for you.

Now if you do use the uploader on a large pic and use the preview button, it will appear that the pic is way too big but once you hit "submit reply" it will be reduced in size.

Thats fine, they really are not sticking out its basically flush and when they camber during compression it goes in. You can check to see if there is any rubbing but I doubt it.

Thats exactly how mine looked before lowering.

Blackdog1. The wagon looks great with those spacers. I just want to confirm that you are running 15mm front and 12mm rear. Any issues now that you have been running them for a while?
