Default Spacers Without A Drop On F-Sport

I was wondering if anything has used spacers on their F-Sport without a drop?
Any pics? What size spacers?? Any info or pictures anybody might have would be great.
I did quite a bit of searching but I wasn't able to find exactly what I was looking for. There are many pictures of cars dropped with spacers but dropping a car changes camber which changes proper spacer sizing for flush fitment so I was really looking for anybody who used spacers without a drop. Anybody have any ideas?

Are you Not wanting to drop your GS?


If no one has done this yet , why not be the first to get it done.

you shouldn't have any issues.

I do beleive a slight drop would look best w/ the wheel spacers.

But to beauty is in the eye of the beholder.


GO for it

Exactly I just dont want to drop this car. Every other car I have ever owned has been dropped and I really wanted to leave this one at stock height.

I dont mind being the first one to do it, I just wanted to see if anybody else had done it so they could give me some advice as to spacer sizing. I guess I'll just measure it up myself and do the best I can to get a nice and flush look. I think spacing the wheels out at stock height will actually create the illusion that it is lower than it actually is. We'll see when I try it out I guess.

Nexson did 20 front, 25 rear with Tanabes. You can get an idea on how it'd look.

Mine is stock and I'm putting 15mm in the front and 20mm in the back. This will be done next week. I'm hoping it looks good...

Awesome. That was kind of what I was thinking would be the right way to go. Nexson's looks great but its with a nice drop. Without a drop, I think 25 rear and 20 front would look like its too much. Please post up pics when you get it done!! Can't wait to see how it looks

I will. It will have the stock 18's on until spring. That's when I'll put the 19" f sport wheels on. I live in Michigan so I don't want the f sport wheels on in the snow.

Had them installed and they look good. I decided to drop it 1 inch with RS-R Down Springs, which should be done next week. I'll try to post some pics before it's done.
