Using spacers with stock SS wheels

AshenSS how much of a drop do you have on your car?

You're crazy.

looking good AshenSS. I must agree, I am not a big fan of the tucked look either. I might also change out my springs from eibach to the Pfadt springs or go all the way with coilovers to get it a little bit lower.

Its once you lower the car, you realize how bad the tucked in 'look' looks. I dont mind the front soo much but the rear looks brutal with the stock 20s, it never bothered me before but I guess the flush movement has suckered me in.
Ill be getting 20mm adapters all around as soon as I have the spare cash.
I heard some guys went with 25mm up front, and 20mm in the back but Ill go 20 all around just to be safe.
And I agree, this smal mod makes a big difference in appearence. Car just looks way more agressive and wider. Love it

Go with coilovers or I think its BNR drop springs that are 1.4" all around. The eibach and Pfadt look identical side by side.

I wanted to go lower too but realized how low our cars are with drop springs and I cant go any lower at this point without scraping everywhere :(

So the other question I have is around alignment. If I go with BNR 1.4" or coilovers will I still be able to align my wheels to factory spec?

Finally found this thread! Ive been going crazy trying to figure this all out!! So I can run 20x10 on the front and rear than? If so does that mean I will have to use a different offset on the front? Or bad idea to run the same size all around?

10 front and rear will work all around...same offset if correctly ordered.

Who makes the 10? I only see 20 and up at H&R.

^ ? What do you mean ?

I run a 3/8" spacer on the back set for DD and another set up front when I track it. 1.8" LG Super Springs.

Makes a hell of a difference....and they're cheap.

This guy said he is running 20mm all the way around and it looks

Looks Awesome

The added un sprung weight shouldn't matter because the stock wheels are already really heavy. You won't notice a couple extra lbs right on the hub.
As long as you torque them correctly you only need to check them once after you put them on brand new, just like a new set of wheels.

If you are not doing any kind of racing, running 20mm adapters (NOT SPACERS) should be just fine.

SUX2BU, I love your quote....about the Devil
