Default Anyone have spacers I can try on?

I'm thinking about getting wheel spacers, 15mm in front and 20mm in the rear. Wondering if someone will let me try theirs on for a few mins to see how it looks with my current suspension.

South bay/ Sunnyvale preferred but I'll drive if need be.

how about advice? im dropped about 1 inch, with about 1 1/2 finger gap front and back, on ap2v1 wheels, stock tire sizes.

im not sure if i should do 15-20 or 20-20 or 20-25...

and which brand should i be going for? and are they going to be a direct bolt on or is some work gonna need to be done?

thats what got me to want spacers. soooo much info in there though its hard to find a straight answer. i guess ill go through it more. i think ive read every page at least 3 times.

my main concern is compatibility, i want direct bolt on.

ichiba are direct bolt ons. I'm sure you can get an idea how aggressive you want to go with the pics in that thread I linked. I did 10mm rear and it looked stock to me. 20mm in the front and rear at your height will be fine. If you get any rubbing more negative camber will help.

Stock AP2 V1 wheels with H&R 25mm Wheel Spacers all around...
Just thought I'd share if you were wondering how it looks.
danvuquoc has the same current set up on his car.

I had to get the all the fenders rolled and pulled a little to make them fit and relocate the rear bumper screw back further to have more clearance in the rear.

Looks good. You had to get the rears pulled too? I'm gonna roll all 4, I want to avoid pulling though. How low are you?

Thanks!

You don't need to pull the fenders too much... I had about a finger gap all the way around.

15/20 with a roll and slight flare is what you want

The 15mm spacers will fit with AP2V1 wheels, you'll want a slight flare to help with clearance in situations with lots of steering angle and bumps -- it'll just be less likely for your tire to make contact with your fender mid-turn.

I run a 20/25 setup -- used to be about 1 to 1.5 finger gap all around, and it would catch the fender on track days or autocrosses with bumps or burms. Now... they're naturally flared
