Well, in the market to get some 166's. I just wanted to get a quick poll, of who is running which setup...

M5 offset
or
M6 offset

Some pics would be nice of the different offset, and how they sit with the fender
My new shoes are going on as we speak. I got the m5 offsets, so I purchased 12mm spacers from rogue, they also package them with the longer lugs. I picked up General UHP's from tire rack.

front: 245/35/19
back: 275/30/19

Don't even think about getting the M5 offset. Get the M6, you will be very happy you did. My fenders aren't even rolled and it works fine with H&R sport spring drop. I have "SOME" rubbing on serious bumps, big ones, but thats it.
Hi Howitzer,
I am putting on 12mm spacers to my M5 offset next week. I have the M sports package/suspension and was thinking about lowering with H&R springs. You mentioned you get rubbing. Once in a while I will be riding with my wife and two teenagers in the back. Sounds like lowering would not be good for me.... but I have still not excluded it since I'm obsessed with looking at how my car sits when I walk up to it! What part of the car rubs with the tire, are you talking the lip of the fender, or inside the fender/wheelwell? Your experienced opinion and recommendation welcome! Thanks
