Ok,

Just installed the Ichiban 12mm spacer to the rear, and my setup is H&R coilover with about 2 inches lower all arounds.

Result------>

No rubbing on any wheels, tested on NYC road. The tires just hide right under the fender, you can't even see any wheel gaps.

No vibration issues....at all

Hey Alan,
That's good news. I have the same type of 12mm spacers. Going to give it a shot this week to replace my 10mm with the 12mm. You need to post some new pictures.
