I dont think your 8.5in wheel even with spacers will be wider than 10in, you should be fine, and yes my car does ride close to stock with the Tanabe/Bilstien struts, then I added sways, strut bars, bushings and rear lower chassis brace, no it rides alot firmer

The wheels are +40mm offset. I can all way's take the spacers off, but i dont like the way the wheels set in so far. I droped the order today anyway so ima do what i gotta do to make it work. I also plan on doin the kyb's, bushings, H-brace, and strut bars. I like a real tight setup cause i allway's drive it like i stole it thanks for the help you guy's I'll be sure to post up some pics.

hey, how long have you been running the 15mm spacers with the 20s? do you have a picture of how far the rear comes out?

they are the Ichiba drs style. they come with the longer studs a little bit of a pain to put the studs in cause of the park brake, but over all im happy with it. they were about $113.00 shiped a little cheeper than the h&r's..
