Just get something hub centric. I would strongly advise against wasting money on H&R or other name brand spacers which cost more than 200 or even 300 bucks.

I got mine on amazon and they are equal in all aspects of quality. (tested for only 6 months....no vibrations, OEM fitment, feels solid) Again, just make sure they are hub centric and made for your car first.

I sell high end brands like H&R to my customers.. I've personally witnessed cars on the track with eBay spacers braking apart while taking corners.

There is a huge thread on the ISF section about spacers in general though.

What Meraki says is probably true. My spacers were purchased from amazon however and I read the many reviews first. However I have never nor plan to ever track this slow car.

I'll report back, if I remember, after another 6 months to update how they are holding up incase others daily drivers are curious. FYI: My daily driving consists of hitting 80-120 mph daily on normal roads at least twice....not saying its like a track, but thats a pretty good stress test.

I'm running a square setup of 20x9 wheels. I'm thinking of adding 20 mm spacers to the rear to give it a staggered look.

I've had my Project Kicks in for awhile now and has been really happy with the results. It looks great, great brand, and even some friends with it on for a long time are still intact comparing to other ones that he has seen. I have an AWD, and went with 15mm front and 25 in the rear. I put on rally armours, so my front is rubbing that a little, but other than that it's all good. Aggressive looking, much wider stance in the rear!

Digging up a dead thread that was not very conclusive. I have a 2020 F Sport AWD with stock F-Sport wheels. I am thinking it should be 20 front, 25 rear. I have no plans to change the suspension or stock tire size. Thoughts?

Are there any concerns when adding 15-20mm spacers to a stock suspension? Will this cause higher wear or stress?

I have used spacers and wider offset wheels in the past. I never had any indication that it caused any problems or premature wear on anything. I guess theoretically sticking out further could be more pressure on components, but I never heard of anyone having problems with mild changes such as these.

I would recommend any spacer over 10mm if you need something thicker then I would do adapters. Spacers are never recommended, but if you must then I would recommend adapters as they are stronger and can handle more load.

I ran 25mm Ichiba in the rear and 20mm Amazon spacers on the front with no issues. Sat the wheels out flush with the fenders and were perfect in my opinion. Ours wasn't lowered, but once the spacers were on it looked like it. Ours was a 2017 200T F sport. I started a thread on here after I did it. But that was a while ago. Oh yeah, I also switched tires to 245/40/19 in front and 275/35/19 in rear.

I just got RS-R superdowns installed on my 2021 AWD and am looking at putting spacers on too because I’m happy with the stock wheels except they need to be more flush. Right now the car looks like it would be a RWD model - the tires are still fully visible front and back. I’ve read that the car may come down a little more over the next week or two. My question is will 20mm front/25mm rear be too aggressive? Worried I’ll rub if I go out too far.
