New Shoes w/ Ichiba 15mm Spacers installed!!!
Hey guys, 
Well I got a set of Sportmax 006 (18x8.5F 18x9.5R) and was not at all diggin' the +35 offset on them. So I purchased a set of 15mm spacers from ichibausa.com to rid myself of that problem! They were very easy to install and took me only 2 hours to complete the task. I am diggin' the +20 offset all around now, it is such a difference. Now I just have to lower this bad boy. What springs should i go with? opinions? Tell me what you guys think! here are some pictures...
Thanks up front for all your guys' help!

hey benny... this kit is the one that replaces the studs. those should work on your 962's man. just replace you original studs so you dont have to cut your stock ones. it was really easy to do, and later if you purchase rims with the correct offset just replace the stock studs and your set! this install was seriously cake man. then you can show me pictures of your 962's with a +20 offset!

yeah, i got project kics 15mm spacers, they are basically the same as what you have, cept mine come with lug nuts to hold the spacer onto the oem studs. but the back of the wheel doesnt accept the excess oem stud.
