Default Question: Spacers or better offsets?

Here is my car as it sits now. Nismo LMGT4 18x8.5 (+25), 18x9.5(+30). The wheels seem just a little more tucked than I like. So my dilemma is do I go with spacers or buy better offset wheels (i.e. Enkei RPF1). And I have already had my fenders rolled just in case.

Just looking for some opinions.

better offsets.

The offset may change the look of the wheel....ie bigger lip, more concavity ect.

But, using spacers will allow you to sell the wheels to other platforms that may not need as aggressive offsets.

If you love the wheels then use some spacers and see what you like! I personally love the LMGT4's so I would probably use spacers. But if you are ok with trying a new wheel style, might as well pick up another set of rims with more aggressive offsets.

yeah, id say the same..

if you were ALREADY hating the wheels and moving on, sure, buy the correct offset..

But since yours are already nice.. just spacer it up.. get good ones tho.. ones w a huib centric that goes from the hub face aaaaaallll the way thru to the new wheel face. Usually they are hub cebteric, but not wheel centric.
