pretty much ya...but would actually putting the car on the ground have that much of an effect on it that it would look much "better" w/o rubbing?

drrrrrrrrrrrr after I took the washers off and put both wheels back on I thought of that... I'll try it either later on tonight or tomorrow.

I also have to get some tuner lug-nuts because I'm starting to knick these wheels up!

You probably have loads of positive offset man, you should just measure when its on the ground and use your imagination, its not rocket science, you are making it harder than it needs to be...

You already measured the rear to be ~5mm more sunk then the front, so if you really like how the front looks, just add 5mm to the rear spacer...

So 5 front, 10 rear, DONE

Edit: On further inspection it looks like the front needs around 5mm and the rear 15mm, if your pictures are accurate...it will compress a good deal once its on the ground and move inward...

Edit edit: BTW, you can prop your car on jack stands (if you haven't already) and use the jack to CAREFULLY jack the suspension up until it is at stock level, just watch the jack stand because you don't want your car to fall off it obviously...

I know it's not rocket science...that's why I'm frustrated because such a "simple" thing is being so "difficult!" lol

The front washers that I had totaled out to be around 6mm, so 5mm spacers should be good.

Even if the rears sink in once on the ground, they still look "too wide" for my tastes.

Either way, I am going to try 5/10/15 set-ups tomorrow and use your method ftw.

thanks

If you bought the 15mm H&R's and don't like them and are selling I would be interested.
