installed 12mm and 15mm front and rear spacers, had the 15mm up front to see how it would work and it did work fine little rubbing, with the wheels i have that would equal +5 up front and rear, as my wheels are 20mm front and rear, with the spacers they are now 8mm front 5mm rear, just thought id post some pics for anyone thinking of doing this, no vibration issues and looks great, and i lowered the car also fyi

before


after
