Spacers really improve the look alexus. Did you just put them on the back?

Any drawbacks? (E.g., vibration?)

thaanks so far i only have at the back but i'm puting 15mm on the front soon...

i was going put 15mm on the front but they guy told me that he needs to re-do whole struts in order to put 'em on.. so i'm goin do a little re-search first then, but i'll put 'em on eventually.. i already bought a 15mm .. so they are in my trunk waiting to be installed

ALexus,
I told you that spacers would work out nicely for you. Do you notice better or worse traction. I seem to think my tires spin easier than before cause they are pushed out further and the weight of the car is not directly on top of the wheels anymore. What do you seem to think?

As for the 15mm spacers, I never tried installing them. I have them but seemed to have lost them. Not sure where I put them. They did come with its own studs like the 25mm ones. I like the 25 mm look so I do not see myself putting the 15mm on except maybe on another car.

Nice picture, I only have a after shot of my car with the 25mm.

Told ya you didnt need to come to my mechanic to do this....its a very simple to do.
