So my delima...

I want 19's but cant get new wheels, not now any ways... These are my 18's, I recently mounted new tires, Falken R - 275/35/18 F - 245/40/18... and my car sits on Hothckis springs... (I need to slam it i know...)

The Rear looks awful to me...

Question:

Should i get spacers?
And if so how far out should I go?

I know I dont have my center caps on the rear, but IDK if it looks better...? (opinion)

Pics...

take the sides off and get some spacers and u should be good to go.

i think those wheels fit perfect just the way they are. no need for spacers at all.

Or also do the opposite:

Get a front lip and rear pieces and the back and front won't look so high..

yeah, that's it. save the money you would use for spacers and get yourself a VS1 lip

i would suggest at least a 20mm on the rear and a 15mm on the front. it looks better without the center caps imo. +1 on the lip too tho haha.

I would go 20 rear, 15 front, and cut the rear springmount to even out the drop.

Yeah I want a Top Top Secret Front lip, Just saving a lil, I would have setteled for the Stillen Front Spliter, but will be wasting money and time, Because ill just get the Top Secret lip.... And Nismo Rears... Ill keep the sides for another year I think...Then buy some others...

I looked around other threads, and found my answer, Im just going to Slam with some Struts Tokico D, In the future...

Thanks all..

I would do the free bump stop mod in the rear which will lower it more. I would then by spacers for your wheels.

Take those wheels off. You're better off with the stocks. Those wheels and fitment are ugly as sin.

this is what your car will look like with the bump stop mod and a better offset!

i'm going to disagree with most here and say you actually need 25mm front and 20mm rear spacers if you want to flush these wheels out.

lol...

Yeah right on it!

Wow, those wheels look great on that car...


bump stop mod = Rubber sping mount, that it sits in, Is that what your talking about?

If so how much should i cut?
I'v heard frome one other, not to! Causes, anoying sound...

And will this risk my Rear Shocks?

no it doesn't make any noise! I have had this mod for 2 years with no problems or any noises, it rides like stock. Cut as much as you need off just make sure you leave a little bit off rubber on the bottom! You're rear shocks will be fine also.

Thanks im going to do this, I really like the set up...

Is that your car?
what are the specs on wheels, do you also have Hotchkis?

I will agree, exactly the spacer widths I was going to recommend.

Buy the proper sized rear tire to fill the wheel well a lot better, then get some spacers.
Please post your offsets and we can give you the best idea on what size to buy.

Specs,
Front Rim 18x8.5-----Tires 245/40/18 +32mm
----------------------------------------------> what the specs said whene i bought them..
Rear 18x9.5----------Tires275/35/18 +35mm

I had 275/40/ On the rear, looked great, but i thought 275/35 looked better..
