If by now you can't see why 25mm on stock wheels is the best way to go
without any issues of rubbing or having to roll your fenders then i dont know
what else to tell you.

Would you still be able to drop this on some S-Techs or Eibach Pro-Kit? I want to get 25 MM's all around but I want the ability to drop it a little bit to make the back look better. I can't tell from the comments whether any guys have 25 mm all the way around and springs.

Considering the S-Techs really don't drop much, I'm willing to bet they would be fine. I would imagine the Prokit would be close.

Look back on page two. The guy that had Sportlines with 25 rear and 15 front had to roll his fenders. Although, the Sportlines are about 3 times the drop of S-Techs, not to mention Sportlines are almost the most drastic drop on springs you can get.

Installed my 25MM H&R Spacers on all four corners today! One problem came up...

There was a small bolt and spacer sticking out between two of the front lugs that prevented me from putting the spacer on. So rather than being stumped, I removed it. I couldn't find a reason why I shouldn't. Look at the before and after pictures. Please let me know if you know of any reason it shouldn't have been removed...

Interesting! That's a great idea! The Lexus dealership rotated the wheels on my IS350 which have about the exact same offset as our cars, bet that wouldn't have happened with the idiot proof bolt.

Yeah, the shop is great. It's my godfather's "barn" the outside of the building looks like a gigantic barn, inside it has the shop you see along with a gigantic salt water aquarium. Sweet to be able to use.

Mine are on order (20mm front and 25mm rear). Should be here next week, didn't go 25mm for the front because I'm afraid the GF210 drop (1.0 front 1.2 rear) will be too close to rubbing in the front. I'll definitely post some before and after pics

I don't know why you're yelling.

You'll probably have to roll the rear fenders if you're planning on running 30mm rears. Since S-Techs aren't that aggressive, I'm sure you'd be fine running 25mm all around.

25mm front, 30mm rear from concept z. sorry about the dirty car... didn't wash it before pics.











i took them off yesterday and i'm thinking about selling them. no real reason for taking them off other than i don't want to ride on stockers lol.

I just put on 25mm front and 30mm rear my 06 with stock 18's. My car is lowered on coilovers and the stock 245 tires clears on the rear with no need for rolling (even with 30mm). Keep in mind I have no adjusted camber at all, just lowered it.

I'd suggest Parts Shop Max spacers. They're by far the cheapest hub-centric spacers I've found and nobody has ever broken one.
