In for pics when on the car.... You got a good set of spacers OP..

I dont know what people are talking about rubbing? But I had 25mm in rear with NO rubbing issues whatsoever and I didnt have my fenders rolled or nothing.

Thank you sir, thats probably the size i'll end up going with. Any reccomendations as to what brand to go with now? i definitely want/need hubcentrics, what ones are built in? From what i've seen H&R and Ichiba are built in but eibach is not? am i right or do i fail at intarwebz? lol
Eibach's have the built-in studs, BTW. GL with your new spacers, save up for the Volks (and no spacers needed if you get the right offsets and tire sizes).

Ok. spacers are on the car. BUT... i definitely need to roll the rears. Fronts are cake. tons o' clearance. the rear, i cant even fit a finger in it. im too low lol. So i'll be rolling them tonight. As for pics im gonna run out and take a couple before i fix the fenders so you can check it out. i wish i woulda known how much being wider helps reduce roll in corners. it actually feels much more stable

more pics tomorrow. im going to roll the fenders tonight so i can get you guys some higher quality stuff.. You can see some of the after pictures where the rears are rubbing. my fronts are already rolled, so just need the rear. im 100% happy with the stance now. made it look much more aggressive IMO

That rear diffuser hides the beauty of the aggressiveness. The Federals have that ugly bulky look. Those tires suck, I spun out 2 times on turns I would take at the same speed with stock tires. I still have a brand new set for the rears that have 98% tread left.
