Default My 98 LSadded 15mm spacers with OEM 16's

Well i got a set of Kics 15mm spacers for the rears (uses nuts to hold on to the factory studs with new studs on the spacers. I have 15mm for the front using H&R with is just a spacer plate but you need to remove the oem studs and replace them with longer ones.

I put back the stock tires as i have to take the car to get some work and an alignment . Also one rear rim cracked again and is being fixed.

The side view but i do know most of you are not this low. You will also notice since the smaller wheels are on the front now goes down much lower to balance both ends.

Here is the rear shot, I hated the oem wheels but once the spacers have been added it makes the wheels look much better.
They finally look good enough that i don't kringe without my rims .

SK, whatare you doing to those poor rims??? First Lexfest last year and now you go and break another one, man you are brutal. LOL!!! You know how you and I go, so it should come as no surprise when I tell you how much I hate your car (in a good way for those who are unfamiliar). Imagine rocking the OEM's with spacers, no doubt, and those TAMMY FAYE LIDS (LMFAO!!!!)

Nice Job,,BTW!!!! Major props!!!

how does it look at ride height? cause i took off my rims as well and threw on my stocks and i don't like how they look. i was wondering if spacers make a difference on how they look. thanks.

As taken from the previous post above.
It makes the wheel like nicer now that they are not tucked way in there.
