They look great, but do they change the offset or the alignment?

Casper-
I?m not an expert when it comes to these things?but my assumption is that the overall offset is in fact decreased by 10mm?and that while the alignment is not affected the overall suspension geometry is obviously slightly changed.

Looking forward to someone who is more knowledgeable than I?jumping in here to address your questions

Thanks a lot for the pictures. They were very helpful. It does look better with the 10 on the rear wheels. I am just wondering if 10 is enough or if I should go to 12 or 15.

I think a little more would be just fine...but for some reason I seem to remember that I was told that the 12mm wouldn't work. And that my options were either 10 or 15 and they (Wheel Power) were concerned that the 15's would cause rubbing? So by default I ended up with the 10's. Now I don't know if the information that I was given was 100% accurate...but I was content to go with the 10's so I didn't do any additional digging.

Let us know what you come up with...I can obviously vouch for the 10's but as for the 12's and 15's I have no first hand experience

How much did the 10's cost you?

I think I was in the $100 (US) range for spacers, bolts and install. The cap covers were about $10 for the 20

If you are around the Bitburg, Germany area and want spacers you can get the spacers lugs and installation for ?82.00 at Reifen Becker.

Can anyone please tell me what the advantages & disadvantages are of getting spacers, besides the most obvious reason, which is getting the rear wheels a little bit more out of the car?

IIRC adding spacers is prohibited by law here in Belgium, I am wondering why this is, there must be a good reason for this I guess?
