would +20F +25R make my 2004 with the 18" stock six spoke wheels (non-track) look the same? Th 2006 are 18x8 all around right? So it should be the same?

That looks really nice, set perfectly in the wheel wells. It always annoys me when I notice how my stock wheels are set back inside the wells...

oh, i don't know, that's why I am asking

I know the 18" 2003-2006 non-track wheels are 18x8 all around, i don't know about the '06, i think it might be 8.5 like you said.

I've seen posts where people say they are putting +15F + 20R on the pre-'06 models...

I really dont understand why you would put spacers on your car. I mean isnt there a safety issue there? How bad did the tires stick in, i mean really, was this necessary? I could see doing this on a vw widebody or some **** to get that crazy wide look, but can this improve handling? how bout a new set set of wheels? I got a set of Sterns for sale! 19x8.5 fronts, 19x9.5 rears, 25mm offset rear, 20mm front,, on nittos, let me know.

are you selling those for $200?

No safety issue from what I've read, it's not like the wheel is going to pop out while you drive. And the car doesn't have to be widebody just to use wheel spacers, the spacers push out the wheel enough so that the tires don't stick out, i don't see anything wrong with that.

Don't these increase your chances of snapping a stud?
