I think they're just slightly too aggressive, I kinda like keeping offset the same and having a 1inch difference in wheels front to rear. I had +40 offset TEs with a 7.5 up front and 8.5 in the rear and loved the ratio. With a 10mm it'll be a +53 offset all around and 8.5 front, 9.5 rear keeping a similar ratio to my old TEs.
Makes sense. My old wheels were 18x9.5 +42 in the rear so these seem really sunken in to me. We'll see how it looks with the 15mm. Where did you get your 10mm from? I couldnt find any with the built in studs.

Evasive has a custom set of Project Kics that are hubcentric for S2k and NSX but they're $175 which is a lot for spacers.

Yea I saw those but it says they're 70 hub bore and our rears are 64.

Ive used spacers off ebay without issue.. And then sold them to someone else who used them for a long while. I dont see the point in paying a premium for a name on a piece of metal and some studs.

With that being said.. 10mm with built in studs isnt very common because your existing studs would be protruding a good bit through the spacer. You would have to ensure your wheels have deep pockets on the mounting pad between the stud holes. Even with a 15mm youll have some protrusion.

These wheels have a recessed area as well as holes between the mounting lugs for the extended lugs to go through.

Mine came yesterday, but unfortunately one was damaged in shipping, not incredibly bad, but enough to make a call and not mount them

If you have the 17x8.5 up front, what size tires are you running to stagger? 215 or 225? If 225 a 45 or 40 series?
