how does the car handle with the spacers on? I've had spacers on the M3 and I didn't like how the car would handle

With the 25 mm spacers on the back, would that look normal with no spacers on the front? Just until I get new wheels here in like 2 months.
Matter of opinion really, but I think it looks bad. If your getting new wheels in 2 months there's no reason to waste time on spacers.

That's enough. Stay on topic or stay out of the thread.

No they don't, Project Kics does though, I have them in the front.



Yes but very very shallow. The stock Ap1 wheels would not even fit with my 20mm spacers in the rear. 25mm minimum bolt on spacer size required to prevent the stock studs from bottoming out in the recessions of the AP1 wheels.
Exactly. It's not just adding spacers. It's a lot of other stuff that comes up that you now have to mess with such as longer lug bolts. Those ain't cheap either.

This is anyone trying to tell you that they are fine with their OEM wheels.

It seems like the debate is like using spacers is bad for the car or handling or not bling enough?If really thats the case,can anyone enlighten me whats the damage if spacers are used?


S4play thanks for the review,i think oem rims rocks too,anyone with dough can get volks or advan or anything,be in on their s2000 or evo or wrx but our oem rims are made for our beloved S.It wont appear on a evo or a wrx.might as well make full use of it.Pardon my 2 cents

they wouldn't harm handling. By spacing the wheels out further from the car's center, you would be widening the stance, with a good alignment it would be similar to having an aggressive offset wheel.

guys I've found another reason to use ap2 oem ver.2 rims and here's evidence from another forum member who did a great job painting them. I'm going to do this to my s2000 but check it out!
