Hmmm. I'm torn. I originally liked it without the spacers since you are running 305s and it looked good already. But those shots with the 10mm spacers look good too. Rubbing might be the deal breaker. Do they rub with the 10mm? If no, I say leave em on. You paid good money for em, might as well use em.

Still can't believe you're running 305s!

I pulled the 10mm spacers off because the rear tires would rub on the fender arch inner lips when I would hit a dip on the fwy..but just barley. I've got some 5mm spacers on order, so I'll slap them on when they get here and see how they do/ look. Hopefully they'll push the rear wheels out far enough for my liking, but not far enough to still cause rubbing. If it still rubs....then I'll decide which looks better, the 5's or 10's, run those and get the inner fender lips rolled.

You've got me thinking now, Damn, 305's, I wonder if they would go on my 172's, I'm looking to replace my rears in the spring.
