10mm shims?
I'm considering getting a set of shims to even make the rear end sit flush with the fenders, but i'm not too sure what to do. I am running and 205/45/17 with a 37mm offset on stock springs.
Is there any concerns about installing shims (difficulty, etc.) or what about the typical spacers that go on the outside of the brake drum. All input is welcome, but not those typical smart comments hahaa.

the hub spacer is the prefered method, doesn't put excess strain on your wheel bearings. A 10mm will not get you flush with the fender, that takes about 45mm if i recall. 10mm should get you even with the front wheels though. or you can run 15mm or 20mm to bring it out even more. if your planning on going very low in the future though, you could have rubbing issued going bigger than 10mm, but rolling your fender would solve that. These are very easy to install. here is where you can get them:

I am just trying to get rid of the "sunken in" look that comes stock. I'm just messing with the idea. I'm never going to go into getting ridiculously low because where I live i'd have to buy a new front end every month.
