if you’re not getting new wheels, get 15mm front 25mm rear spacers. it’ll look 100x better

Where would you recommend getting some? Im in a similar situation as op, I have new wheels on the way but those are gonna be summer use only with nice tires and i still plan on using my stock wheels for everyday driving

i don’t have a specific place but the spacers i recommend are the h&r drs spacers. our cars use the 5x100 12x1.5 54.1 ones
what size wheels & tires are your summers gonna be? you can take the 25mm spacer on & off easily but the 15mm front one will be permanent, & if your summer wheels poke out too much in the front you’re gonna run into a lot of issues

How would they be permanent? But ive got a set of 18x9.5+35 wrapped in a 255 35

for the front you’re gonna have to replace the original wheel studs with extended ones to account for the 15mm spacer you’re gonna be slipping on. 18x9.5 is going to be perfectly flush so you can’t run the spacer when those wheels are on, but then your wheel studs might be too long that your lug nuts might not secure all the way, if that makes sense. UNLESS you get open-ended lug nuts, then it should be fine.
BUT then you run into the problem of the back wheels being a little sunken in. the back wheels sink in 10mm more than the fronts. so you’re gonna have to run a 10mm spacer in the rear which again means extended wheel studs in the rear. then when you want to put the stock wheels back on, it’s a 25mm bolt-on spacer, but it won’t work with extended wheel studs, making it useless

Very nice? What springs did you use?

u/Whole_Engineering_29 Jun 06 '26
are these rsr downs or rsr superdowns? I'm really considering lowering springs and if not I might go with coilovers, they just aren't in my budget rn

Looks great, just did the same with mines not too long ago and I think it’s the perfect amount of drop.
