Looks good!

The only thing that concerns me about these spacers/low offsets is the amount of **** you'll be slinging down the side of your car. The way it sits stock, the car is relatively protected. I'd be afraid knowing how crappy the paint is on these cars.

Looks sweet! I just got home today and got the stainless spacers you made me. Haven't put them on yet, but they look great! Thanks again.

Yes I had to settle for the expensive *** nismo bolts and knock out the stockers. Then put the 15mm spacers on. I cant even fit my pinky between the rear wheel and the fender lip perfffffect.

Mike, good to see you got the spacers. I just realized, you didnt give me an outer diameter for the spacers so I just made it the same as my wheel. If its too big.....just tell me. Danielle and I would like to take you guys out to dinner or something soon to repay you for the tickets. We will call you sat or sun when we get back

Arrrrrruuuuuuuubaaaaaaa

I have been trying to find some definitive information about spacers. Do they improve handling? I can tell they improve looks! I am very interested in doing spacers soon...ARE THERE ANY DOWNSIDES??

Sorry to yell...that is my biggest concern though! BTW, nice looking ride wadd.

Here is a note that I got from performancewheel.com

"If you use any kind of spacer or adapter there will be a vibration. You will not be happy with the results. Sorry I can't help you any further
Becky "

Does she speak truth? Are you guys happy with your spacers..I want some!

pardon my ignorance and nooby question

but can you actually have a spacer on rear and front so you get a flush look with the fender?

yep.... my spacers push my wheels to just barely inside the fender.

You don't want to go exactly flush cause a large bump will cause the tire to contact the fender, but just inside the fender works great.

Gives the car a meaner more aggresive look IMO

After my research I think I will go with 25mm rear and 15mm front. Dont know exactly when though. Other threads are stating that 25mm should be okay for the rear.

Still a little research I want to do, but I am pretty decided.
