Question about spacers....
#1
Please excuse my ignorance as I have never done any modding or changing to any car other than tinted windows. Is the idea of spacers just to give the car a slightly wider stance? Those of you that have them... do you have before and after pics?
Just curious. Thanks.

There are few members that have done it, you'll see it with oem wheels mostly like 124's, 166's (M5 offset),or 172's etc....Hard to tell much difference since we are talking in mm's. But the wheels will get pushed ut a bit further thereby making the wheel more flush with the fender.

post number 10 is by member genearch, pics only from post spacer install. A search using "spacers" or spacer install should give you a few threads with pics...

That's mine with spacers. You can find a bunch of pics of cars without. IMO- get the spacers. The car looks much more aggressive and the gap is less. I didn't want to lower my car anymore, so adding spacers was all that was needed after the sports suspension.
Hope this helps.
