finally got 15mm spacers installed..!
#21
im running toyo proxies 4... that is what came on the wheels... they are ok.. defenetly not going with them again.. if i stick with 215's.. then ill go with the g-force ... however.. if i decide to go with 225-35's... that opens up alot of other options.. but alas.. i have not explored that yet... plus staying on 215's will keep me under $200 a tire.. where 225's will push me over...
as to what you need to measure.. ?? im not sure.. most of the time you should be able to tell if you will get rubbing by reducing the offset..
on spacers.. depending on how you feel about hub-centricity.. you may need to buy larger spacers and have them modified... H&R spacers do not have the hub centric lip/ring until 15mm... and unfortunatly skip from 5mm to 15mm.. luckly.. you can take the 15mm spacers and have them milled down to 10mm and still keep the hub-centric lip/ring.. but that all adds money..... but just something to keep in mind..

Nice.
Are there any risks associated with these spacers? I imagine you need longer studs, so are these more succeptable to breaking? What about more wear in the suspension components (ie balljoints, etc)?

i have never heard of any issue/problems related to using spacers... however.. as a general rule, i would recommend staying with spacers that keep the wheels hubcentric.. h&R's 15mm spacer and above have a ring to keep the wheels hub centric..

sp0t.. im not sure about the first question.. they just might be.. either way thought.. they (the wheels) need to be brought out some..
on the side shot.. here you go.. the first 4 are without spacers but at a profile/side shot you couldn't tell if there are spacers or not..

oh thanks..
cuz i wanted to see how much it would fill up the fender gap with spacers. Did you notice a decrease in the gap's visibility after you put the spacers on than when you didn't have it on?
