With correct offsets you do not need spacers

they do, but if you get the correct offset there is no need to space it any further out with a spacer.

Your rims look sick!! Love the VMR's concave look. Amazing in that color. Really wanted them but VMR is all out of our low offset wheels. Did not want to run spacers. Are you on sport suspension? You should have gone with a 295 or even 305 on that 11 rear. Don't get me wrong it looks sick but with your ride hight yo shouldn't have any rubbing. Maybe next tires? I went with 295's on my 10.5 - 25 offset wheels I bought yesterday. Love the silver by the way, same here. Every line and cut is seen with our titanum silver!! Very nice

The only other offset option in the front with a 9.5" width is +22 and that isn't enough, so either way in needed spacers. I wanted to go more aggressive but I did not have any more time for test fitting, it took 4 weeks of test fitting to get the fronts to fit. I will go more aggressive next time. It is just stock sport suspension.

Wheels are a great fit for your car. Don't go too much on the front spacers. Just a little more will do the trick.

Nice pics. I love the concavity of the rears. Do you have a pic of the rear showing how wide they are? Thanks.
