Put on the Ichiba 25mm spacers I got from a nice guy on this forum. I put them on both the fronts and the rears. I'm extremely happy with the results. Here are some before and after pictures.

lol, interesting colour choice..

PS Shoes are the tyres, not the wheels If you were naming things in the same vein, they'd be the feet, but i don't recall anyone ever using that term :P

i think the bronze and black compliment each other well.

so the tires are the shoes and the wheels are the feet. i think im going to stick with wheels and tires...

Sorry, i was laughing at the feet thing, the colour does work as described

And yeah, like i said, no one would use feet, but the analogy of the shoes being the tyres, is what shoes/tyres you've shod the car with. Tyres are change far more frequently in England and even more so racing. I can't believe how long tyres last here!
