Hi all, recently change my name from 'Smokin350' and also completed my newest mod - wheel spacers! Thanks to strausj22, passnu2, & javyLSU for their +feedback during my research!

HISTORY:
I'm trying to perfect that OEM look and the desire for spacers became evident after lowering the car on Eibach's 350 pro-kit w/ stock 18"s. Most spacers I found required swapping of the studs to longer ones and my local shop wanted nearly $300 just for labor on some H&R's!

PRODUCT:
That was until I was introduced to these, Ichiba Version II direct bolt-on wheel spacers made of aluminum alloy. They offer 15/20/25mm incriments and I chose to go with 15mm front and 20mm rear. Total weight ~10 lbs.

RESULTS:
Overall very satisfied! Installation was an ease with proper tools. No alignment issues and no rubbing from what I can (can't) hear but haven't operated at full load. Visually, IMO, the rear is nicely flush and the front sticks out just a hair. Handling feels improved in turns as the car feel a bit more planted and wants to stay flatter due to it's wider stance. Still need to stiffen the suspension and, I know, I need to upgrade to coils.

It is amazing what spacers can do for a car in the aesthetic department and also help in handling. A must have mod for about $150.

looks amazing... it's all about the details.

When you add spacers, you also put more strain on your suspension...is there a way to counter this? thicker sway bars? does any one know?
