Default wheel spacers

just purchased some new wheels fno1rc with the rear at 35 mm offset i want to bring it to 20-25mm. my question is will wheel spacers such as eibach pro spacer hurt my performance or in the long run kill my studs or will it ride unnoticed

plus if they did what you are asking there would be a whole bunch of people hurting because a lot are on the wheel spacer band wagon fad.

Sounds like a great question before buying wheels.

^^you want 25mm spacers hu, thats gonna be a tight fit with them being 10" wide, even with 35mm offset on the rim...whats your camber at? Im gonna guess around -3.

As long as you get an alignment and have camber kit I dont see how it would hurt the car at all.

The 17x10 +25 FN01R-C fits perfect front and rear.

no not 25mm spacer i want to be at 25mm offset with a 10mm spacer on a 10 width they were out of 25mm offset so my fronts are going to be 17x8 25mm and rear at 17x10 35mm offset they are being shipped not mounted yet so im not sure how off it will look or if it would barely be noticable

Did you consider getting the 17x9 for the front? The 8", although the same as stock, is so bleh since you don't get the contours of the wheel. You'll most likely want a spacer for the front, maybe 10mm or more, and the 10mm for the back as well. GL.
