I think Hameed has 25's on the back and it makes a HUGE difference in appearance ( ).

Here are pics of my with the spacers on the rear. I did not put any spacers in the front as it is not recommened by most who have done that. It adversely affects the handling. As far as the rears go, did it improve the handling? I don't really know 100%. Theoretically, yes as the track is wider now by 2 inches in the rear.

HAmeed where did you get the spacers? and how much?

looks good.. makes the wheel more flush.

Thanks

Hameed

I got them used of another CL member - Dex, but I believe you can get them brand new for about US$120.00 from H&R's website.

You can get them from here:

thanks hameed. i just ordered them for the rear. i was wondering about doing the front but your comments about the handling stopped me on that one. your pictures show that they do look a whole lot better with them on. so you didn't really notice any difference in the ride? ivan

Hameed

No I did not notice any difference in the ride..............

well i got the h& r 25mm offset put on the rear. i'm running mich pilot sport a/s 245/45/17. car now looks much better (thanks for the pictures hameed). even got them painted to match my calipers and rotors. makes it look like i've got much larger wheels and also adds 2 inchs to the track, so theroretically it has added a bit of handling performance. i can't prove it, as at the same trip to the mechanic i had them put on a set of jic magic coilovers the FLT2A. i'm still getting them fine tuned and will start a seperate thread on that soon, i will say the car handles incredibly now.

I got a set used recently but haven't received them yet. I am running JDM Toyota 18X9 inch wheels.
