Thumbs up Spacers Needed for Factory 18's

My car is a lease and I have not decided to pull the trigger on rims yet. I would like to know the best brand of spacers for a bolt on install, and the correct sizing to bring the factory 18's out more. I hate the tucked under look, especially in the rear.

All info appreciated. If a company is mentioned, a reliable source would also be nice.

Thanks .ORG

I think you'll need 25mm in the rear, 20mm in the front for a flush look...or at least that's what most ppl here say.

The less skilled the person is installing them, the more dangerous they are. Torque them right or you'll learn real quick why people have horror stories about spacers

I've had my Ichiba V2 (they bolt on to the original studs, and have their own) on for 6 months absolutely no issues or rubbing. 20mm in the front, 25mm in the rear and it fits the fenders pretty well IMO

Do you think that the 25mm would rub or hit the fender when you hit a dip?

Hasn't for me in 6 months. I was concerned about it at first but somehow it stays clear. You can ask GMTraitor he's seen my car in person and he checked the fenders lol

But in your above post, with the picture, you state you're running 20mm front AND rear. Did you mean to say 25mm in rear?

If so, where do you get ichibas for a good price?

TIA, TK

I'm also running 20mm front and 25 rear with stock 18's. No rubbing issues whatsoever.
