The quest for "Flushness" using AP2 OEM Wheels!
#1233
first time using my spacers. had to put my ap2v2s back on while my 18" HREs got completely redone (they're done but not mounted yet).
215/45/17 & 245/40/17 Dunlop Direzza DZ-101 (from previous owner)
15mm hubcentric spacer in front
20mm hubcentric spacer in rear
not sure how much lower i am now. was way more slammed than this, but had car raised when i got my new Buddy Club N+ coilovers and cornerbalanced alignment (worth every penny!)
front & rear fenders rolled completely flat w/rear tabs relocated. NO rubbing w/these ap2v2s, but slight rubbing in rear w/HRES on big bumps
doesn't look bad, but can't wait until i get my HREs back on. looks like i can easily go w/a 20mm front & 25mm rear spacer. that was the setup another member rec'd to me. he had a significant amount of experience w/the OEM ap2 wheels & spacers. however, he said i should stick to 15mm & 20mm on stock studs. i didn't want to get extended studs.

Back for round 2 with my 2nd S!
15/20MM...after driving around last night a bit and today...I didn't even have to roll fenders. I'd rather take the fender approach very slowly if need be, this time around.
With a push from my buddy Dennis...gave DMV motorsport spacers a shot...great quality...fixed center, 17MM nuts on the 15 and 19MM on the 20...
Had to sand and apply some bearing grease (I always do for ease of removal later). Also, a little trick I use to put the spacers on the front by myself using a breaker bar.

Absolutely perfect...not too aggressive, but pretty flush!

I'm slightly less low than I was on the Sebring one...I can still get the jack under the sides without 2x4.

Edit - I'm assuming these are them? http://www.ebay.com/itm/HUBCENTRIC-B...-/181465918184
I'm always a little weary of eBay-born products. They seem decent enough from your review and pictures though. I may just give them a shot.
