is that it?

cool, it worked. thats the picture of the car, and im trying to push the rears out a little more. thing is, im planning to eventually install suspension in the car, so it will be sitting abouy 1-1.5" lower and i would not want to get ANOTHER set of spacers with the suspension, or have to sell them becaus ethe wheels need to be tucked in for clearance.

so the question is: to set the rear wheels out further, whats the size spacer/adaptor i can get so it will clear in factory AND lowered suspension. :blink:

...thats funny vid, mokeyslayer

205/60r/15 with 20mm spacer worked great on my car in the rear with lowering springs and they are for sale.

I have 20mm spacers and 225/35/18 tires with no issues. I would install whatever you think looks good and just trim the fenders if need be. You just get nips and cut the metal back then with shears trim the liner and poprivet in place. I cut over 20mm off and most people do not believe me untill they see a side by side with a stock car. It looks that stock

When you say poprivet you mean to the under side lip to hold the well liner back in place.I would like to get my spacers back on but I though it was just to tight.I know it might be pain in the but if you get a chance pics would be cool

so 20MM is fine...with no issues...thats the idea im getting.

i really do not want to start chopping the tabs on the fenders. the car looks good now, i think, but if they were out just a little more, it would look a little more aggressive. mind you i still have some work to do for the aggressive look, but this would be a good place to start.

sp5368: thank you very much for the offer on the used spacers, but i have already promissed i would get them from another contact. :)

20mm and you will have to do a little triming in the rear. Not much just enough to make it worth while and make you feel good about it
