Hi guys! I have a question..
I have a 550 sport with 172's. I want to add spacers to move the wheels out slightly..
I don't want any rubbing..what is the right size to accomplish this?
Thanks for the help!

172 rear ET is 32
a 10mm or 12mm spacer should do it, wonder is anyone is going to suggest a 15mm spacer
pm trinity autosport or nerweezy for good pricing on some H&R spacers...
rogue is another brand recc'd for spacers often...

I noticed your car doesn't have the chrome around the doors!! Did you have them get painted or did they come like that?? Please tell~ 
Nice ride by the way~

OP: did you want to add spacers to both front and back or just the rear?

Another very popular brand is Macht Schnell, though I have yet to hear any member here mention them.
I prefer Rogue or Macht Schnell since those come in black vs H&R that are silver.
If you do go H&R, contact Nerwyll / Trinity though.
