H&R Spacers Installed

I went with 20mm Rear and 12mm Front. Think it looks pretty good!

That's serious! Looks crazy wide from the back!

Looks like they line up pretty perfectly with the fender liner edge.

Ya I was a bit shocked at first but now that I'm used to it I love the look. Picture 3 is deceiving, it is perfectly flush with the top of the flare.

No issues with ride, but only have about 2500 miles.

Luv the spacers, running 17.5mm in the back and 10mm in the front.

Rides just as stock. No rubbing, no vibrations. Just looks better!

It doesn't do much, but microscopically it does improve the centre of gravity and a bit more traction, but that's micro.
Just make sure you get good ones(seen cheap ones that are poorly made, and not equal so it's offset off the centre), quality over quantity.

H&R Spacers

Just placed an order myself for 25 rear and 15 front. Now after looking at these pictures I'm thinking 25 could be too much. What do you guys think? I have 19' wheels. Any input would be appreciated.

I went the same route with 20mm rear and 12mm front. You can pick up the spacers anywhere: Acute Performance, TMS, EAS, MRF, etc. Three of the four listed are active on the forum. You can't go wrong with any of them.
