Smooth whip....What tire sizes and spacers you running bro? I think I need to bring my fronts out a little more. Rear I have a 275 tire (20x10)12mm spacers want to go 15 but I'll rub where the bumper meets the quarter panel. Fronts I have a 10mm (20x8.5) want to go 15 don't think a 12 will make a difference but don't want it to be wider then the rear. Your stance looks great specially from the front. I know I have the look in the rear. Thanks bro

Hey man, honestly that set up is outdated to the point where I'm ready to rid my set of miros (posted in classifieds ) here after a photoshoot. But with Miros I'm running rolled fenders, et40 rear with 38mm (1.5") spacer rears. I like concave wheels in a high offset for better side visibility of the rims. Tires are 265 35 on a 19 x 9.5 wheel. Calculate total rim offset and you have et2. Of course, it's not the same when you run an et2 wheel because a spacer moves the whole wheel towards your fender rather than just hub, which is why I always end up with huge spacers. The pictured setup rubbed like crazy. But only when I drove (;

Always consider offset and camber when talking about fit. I had a rant on the widest tire thread about this that you can read (:

I don't expect any of that to happen soon since I'm not getting any extra "spring rates" or "bouncy rides" cuz we aint rollin civics. These stock BMW shocks handle the new spring rate like a boss.
