New rotors, ceramic pads, painted the calipers, mud guards and 1 inch spacers (wanted just a little bit more of a aggressive look). The spacers put the tires just a touch past the fenders, looks great. I have used spacers many times in the past, done right they are fine. Just had to cut off about 3/8 of the stud which only turns out to be a small amount of the little stub on the end of the stud.

Looks good. I have the same spacers. 20mm ones and the factory wheels definitely look better flush with the fenders.

Meh ….rather purchase wider wheels and be able to pass tech someday..... Done right they can be Ok but I rather avoid spacers.....
