So did you ever use 20mm spacers to replace the 15mm? I'm curious to see what it would look like with the 124s. Has anyone used 20mm spacers with the style 124 wheels with stock sport suspension? If so, please post a pic or two. Thanks!

Ya, I'm about to replace my cracked and welded 124s with newer/used ones. Just figured that since I'm gonna take off the wheels, now would be a good time to install spacers. I'm considering spacers for the rear but I'm torn between getting the recommended 15mm spacers or going with 20mm. I have seen many pics with 15mm but none of 20mm.

I think 18 or 20 would look better and more flush than the 15's on 124's....at least on the stock sport suspension.

I have 15mm and I say go with 18mm. Would look perfect with a 5mm up front, but too many problems with mounting a 5mm up front with a beveled hub wheel. I may customize my front wheels to allow me to run a 5mm up front with no problems.
