I did the search, but only found pics of 25mm spacers on the rear. Has anyone tried the 15mm with stock 17s? If so, could you please post some pics?

I was thinking 15mm on the rear and 5mm on the front, but I'm open to suggestions. Definitely keeping the stock 17s, 245/45 tires, L-tuned springs.

I ahve 25's in back... and recently tried 15's up front on the GS 17's with 235/50's. This is important because they will appear further out witha bigger tire... Hope this helps...

you didnt have to get longer wheel studs?

No, they came included, so it was bolt on. Didn't have to replace anything.... Finding a spacer in 15 with attached studs is hard... Usually you get the studs, but you have to replace the existing ones with the new longer ones... I did not want to mess with removing anything.... .

Just added the spacer with existing suds and nut.

what spacer did you use from what company, I really dont want to change the studs and have been unable to find a spacer that doesnt need the studs to be changed. I bought rotora brakes which were supposed to fit with no spacer but did not so i need a 15mm at least.

Well, if you are talking the rears.. then you canb use h&r 25's. there will not be a need to replace the studs as they come with the studs and nuts. they are a true bolt on/off product. as far as the fronts go... if you want 15's... there is a guy on e-bay that sells jdm 15's with uincluded studs and nuts just like h&r. I don't feel too confy with using the 10's and existing studs due to the stress the front wheels go through. Unlike the rears, they just follow pretty much, but when you are cornering or turning.. that is added stress and i just felt safer with complete threading, rather than going with the minimum that you will get if you add the spacers that don'
t have the studs included...

pics are coming.. I finally got my GS back and she prrrrrrs, way better. got a motor with 34k miles..... my old one had 96k... so it is a diference..

Well, consider that the application I had on this pic were the is300 17's x7.5........ and the back was nearly flush with the fender... I now have the gs300 17's which are 17x8... so they fit flush..... pics coming
