+15mm Spacers on Factory 19's

[07sportm35]

Just wanted to show how factory wheels look when they are almost flush with the wheelwells.

It's tough to tell from the pics, but it looks a lot nicer now. She rolls smooth as silk. Gives the car a vastly improved stance. It's amazing how .6 inches can make such a visual difference!

Next I'm going to drop her mildly 1.2" in the front, and .5" in the rears with Tein's.

I used quality Eibach spacers that utilize a hubcentric pattern.

Well, spacers are a sensitive subject in terms of vibrations, weight, and added stress on suspension components. So...I chose the best--Eibachs.

They cost me $120 a pair. They are very light as spacers go and fit perfectly (4.5 pounds).

Thanks for the compliment. I'm here to tell you they really change the look of the car to more of a Euro look. I'm really glad I did it. In my opinion the factory wheels already look really nice. They just need a little bit more negative offset to complete the look. The spacers did the trick.

Another visual illusion is the wheels actually look 1/2 inch BIGGER with the spacers!

Thanks for the reply...I was wondering if you can tell me how dark is your tint.That's on my next to do list.

I wish I knew. I bought the car "as-is". It was originally from Texas. Fortunetly, Arizona is pretty lax on window tints (being as so it gets so hot here).

I will guess 35% or less. I would have prefered be a little lighter than it is but it looks awesome from the outside.

At the time a policeman stops me I'll know for sure.
