spacers again
Hi guys,
I'm more of a reader and not much of a poster. But I just paid off my 03' black Touring
and I seem to have gotten excited about the car all over again. (funny how not having to make a payment every month can do that). She's in great condition only has 15,500 on the tach and has never let me down. I haven't done many "mods" but I have some sweet seat covers on the way and I am seriously considering doing spacers. I have no fears about damage or anything like that, and I will be going with the hubcentric ones but my question is this, has anyone gone with some 10mm up front??? I want to fatten that baby up all around.

What wheels you have, 17's, 18's factory wheels?
I thought about MAYBE using 5mm spacers on the fronts of Anniversary wheels but decided that it would be too much, so I'm just going to use 15mm on the rears. I don't want the car looking like a skateboard.
What is the distance from the outer edge of your front tire, to the edge of the fender?
It's really personal taste but I can't think of a factory Z wheel I would use a 10mm spacer for up front. I don't think it would look right, even if it does tuck in behind the fender.

I have the 18" wheels and the look I'm going for is a more agressive stance all the way around. Somehow I just feel like the rear wheels should stick out a little further than the fronts. You can see just by looking at the body that 25mm will be okay on the back, but things are much tighter up front. I guess the best idea is to measure the gap.

Looking for 15mm spacers for my rears. Found these:

I don't know about the quality but I like that fact that I won't have to bang out the oem studs and that they're hug centric. Does anyone know if the H&R's come in this format as well? Or do the require replacing the studs.
