You can install it now if you want, it probably will look retarded, spacing them out has a tendency to make your ride height look taller than it would with the wheels more recessed in. You also run a slight risk of hitting a bumper with the wheel turned and pulling a fender lip out, its pretty slight at stock height, but I've heard of it happening.

How long have you been tracking with the spacers? Any adverse effects? Any improvements in driving feel, or handling?
Looks really good btw!

I recently changed up my spacer/ride height setup for more track-ability/clearance.
25mm Rear, 25mm Front
Dunlup Z1 SS 255/40/17 Rear, 215/45/17 Front
Tein Monoflex recommended height.

25mm Rear, 20mm Front
Dunlup Z1 SS 255/40/17 Rear, 225/45/17 Front
Tein Monoflex recommended height + 15mm raise all around.

I did this to fit a bigger front tire and to ensure no issues with rubbing at the track. Setup feels great now.

I have a question for you all. I'm gonna drop my car on coils until there's no fender gap, but not yet tucking tire and then roll fenders and space the wheels out (25rear 20front). Do you think I will rub with that drop on stock wheel specs? Should I do the roll and install spacers first and then drop? Or drop and then roll/install spacers?

Umm, I'd do them all at once. That way you know how much to roll and flare, you will need to flare a little bit btw, unless you want to run ridiculous amounts of camber. Otherwise likely you'll end up dropping it, roll it to make sure you don't pull a fender lip out, then add spacers, then you'll realize you didn't roll enough or flare enough for the huge spacers.

Thanks for the response. I was going to drop, then as I'm rolling fenders add the spacers since the wheels will be off already. Do you think I will need to flare a lot? I would like to not crack the paint when doing the fender work.
