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.

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..
