personally, after rolling the rear fenders, i think i can push a +40 at least now gonna slap on some spacers to see.
Great wheels man! I am planning on getting a new 20" staggered setup on my GS400 and now that I have seen your ride I have made my decision....MRR GT1's with the same setup !!!....Does your shop (Advanced Motorsports) ship wheels to Canadian adresses? I'm in Toronto, Ontario...please check you PM

its funny you bumped this thread cuz i re relowered her after my package came in!

after doing a lot of research, taking measurements, i decided on spacers. under the guidance of ken (coworker and mech), i decided on a 15mm spacer. but he said anything more than 5mm would mean i need to press new studs in. a good quality comprimise was these.

Kics wheel adapters.


the stock studs sit in the holes while the new studs stick out of the spacer.


Before


After


This is how the wheels sit now, just a bit past flush on the fenders



The wheels would have sat very nicely if i decided to keep my fenders stock. but with them rolled flat, i could have probably pushed a 25mm spacer, but i dont want to be running 2 or even 4 degree neg camber. with this set up, i should be able to run a 1 to 1.5 degree neg camber with the wheels/tires sitting flush.

the spacers are about $160 + taxes for the pair. the only thing you have to make sure is if ur wheels have that empty space between the stud holes. some rims have it, some dont.

also, if u plan on getting them i only reconmend getting for the rears. i tried some 3mm spacers for the front, and cuz they arent hub centric'd, i noticed a wobble when i drove down the road. once i took them out and just used my hub centric rings, the wobble was gone.
