Wider wheels instead of spacers.

Has anyone done this and would anyone know where to get them?
I'm weary of getting spacerd especially since Ghozt had such a bad experience with them.

Thanks

the ones that I think got warped were just a little wobbly. I still recommend spacers, just don't let idiots touch your car...

Yeah you don't really need wider rims to get the flush fit, it's more about the wheel offset that counts if you don't go with spacers.

Ah, I see. Took some time to look that up. Much easier to go with spacers made for the specific car, seems that the notion of offset is more involved than I thought.

Totally agree.


Mine have been on for a week, but I've driven several hundred miles. I really like the stance the car has & I have no ride quality issues. Thanks Ghozt for your recommendations.

No problem man. In fact I just got in my 10mm black H&R spacers to replace the warped Ichiba's and have a more flush color between my dark rim and black rotor.

this will be the 4th set of spacers I've run - I had 20mm/25mm with stock rims - and never had an issue with any except for the ones I'm taking off right now. and like everyone warns, if you overtorque these things thats when you risk compromising the integrity of the unit.
