i didn't know you switched your spacers to 20/25...

yeah your car was pretty low before.
With how low I was, 225s in front, and 25mm spacers, and the track, they had to go. Looks fine and completely daily drivable now with very little worries. Doesn't look as good, but whatever, it's a lot more fun to drive now that i have suspension and control arm travel

so it looks like i might be getting coilovers soon in which case i think ill want to go 20f-25r. my tires are stock size, but my fronts are made by some "westlake" brand and bulge a little, do you guys think this will be an issue with the spacers? i would like to not buy tires until these ones get worn out, but im thinking maybe i should buy decent tires all around and sell the ones currently on the car.

also... im trying to avoid looking "hella flush". are 20/25 gonna force me to run to much camber? i guess i dont mind camber too much, i just hate the look of wheels being to wide for the car and having smaller tires that dont fit on the wheels so that the wheels can fit on the car and then still not fit and damage your fenders /rant

i want my car to retain its functional appearance. (even though i dont plan to track) i also have 3 speed bumps at work that i have to conquer everyday.

Get the fenders rolled and slightly pulled. Then run 20mm up front and 25mm in the rears. Since you dont have plans for tracking the car, you should be fine. I tried on some 25mm spacers front and back after my fenders were rolled and i had no issues at all. I was also lowered about 1.5 inches and had 255's in back on AP2 V1's.
