thanks, and no i didn't take any side shots. I'm about to go test drive them out, just finished with the install about and hour ago. I got them off ebay for $88. I made sure they were hubcentric and came with longer studs.

I just got the rear. I just got back from driving and no rubbing. Not sure if it's hard on your struts. It's kinda like getting new wheels with a lower offset, same difference in my opinion. oh yeah and yes i do need a wash and wax, it's suppose to rain tomorrow that's why I didn't at least wash it today.

I've had mine for about 4 years now and with the stock wheels with 235/45 tires I didn't rub with my h-techs...with my 6th gen wheels/tires I rub with people in the back going over bumps.

no name brand spacers? Looks good after you installed them. Just re-check your lug nuts.

Yeah I got the no names. They fit nice, very snug. Yeah I'll be checking my lug nuts very often for awhile. So far so good

Shoulda went 25!! The only thing that really rubs is the bumper bracket, but once you trim that down and roll the fenders a bit there's no rubbing.

I came very close to 25 but didn't want to take that chance.

Did you have any vibration at all? Or at all had to tighten your lugs?

I've been considering spacers for awhile now (same ebay ones as OP) but haven't had the cajones to pull the trigger.

To OP: they def look good

I just might have to now. I was going to put on my 6th gen wheels for that 'full' look you have with spacers. But now I just want spacers lol.

Think the tread wear will change much?
