Default Need spacers for 2nd gen GS stock 17" wheels

Need spacers for my 01 GS430 on stock 17" wheels, I just got Tein CS v2 and need spacers to get the wheels to come out a bit to look better when it is dropped, where and how much I can get them for, and are they going to create shimmy at 6-80mph?

here is my ride now:

you need to be careful with spacers...

make sure when all is said and done that at least 12 mm worth of threading is utilized by the lugnut after the spacers are installed, if you do not have this much, you will need longer wheel studs

also, spacers may or may not cause a vibration... if you can, get hubcentric spacers - these will be the best...

I found that H&R have 5mm, 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, etc DRS spacers with studs.. Ranging from $60-$150.. Which ones would you use for the back and front? I saw pic with 25mm rear spacers with OEM 17" wheels and they looked nice but the car was not lowered like mine?! Does any one have pics of their set up with spacers? I have fat set up with P-Zero Nero M/S 245/45/17 on OEM wheels..

I'm curious about this one as well. I want to add my stock wheels back on the car and thought it would be cool to add spacers to the rear to get the back to bump out just a bit.

anyone?

Hallo to all

15mm front

20mm or 25mm rear, you can go up to 25mm MAX, on stock wheel/tire setup
