Thanks Flash, would you mind linking? Would love to wish list them if nothing else!

yup, those are the ones I'm using. Multiple members here said they had installed for long enough with no issues. I have the black ones, 20mm front and 15mm rear.

Heres a couple new images as requested.
Not exactly the same appeal but I like it, still looks much better.
15mm after

20mm before

Any reason you went with black instead of the regular shiny silver?

The others looked a little too polished and stood out too much. I guess also to keep consistent with black calipers I have and rotors/wheels to come.

I think the 15mm looks better, the 20mm makes the wheel kind of angle out, thanks for the pics man, I will probably go for the same set up with RSR down springs on my non F sport.

25/20 mm spacers on stock suspension. I have lowering springs on the way which will drop it 1.4/1.0 inches. BTW, I do rub with stock suspension.

Yup, looks good, HOMER, and for the miniscule difference the basically guaranteed no-rubbing is worth it imo. Speaking of "angled-out", it looks like all our cars have noticeable camber in the rear? Mine stock sure looks like it.

Not constant either but I will be replacing with 15mm for rear.

Thinking maybe tire brand has to do with why there is inconsistency with people rubbing.
I have Goodyear EagleSport all season.

I've read there are some variances in shape and sidewall structure across brands but I don't know if that would make the difference.
You're absolutely correct about the variances in tire size, Goodyear has a very wide footprint with a square shoulder where as Continental or Bridgestone is more rounded.

Thanks for helping to confirm. It looks like it in the images but not exactly something mfg. will or should specify.
