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!

If I was running stock tires I would of gone for 25 rear and 20 front (on the extreme side). With your drop though that could be a pain. You may want to shoot for 20 just to be safe (which will still look awesome). It will still need a bit camber.
I've always liked what you've done with the car.

I've had 15mm H&R Spacers on my M3 before and the car definitely handled worse than stock. It felt like the stock suspension had to work overtime due to the wider tract. I take my car to the track and autocross events so the last thing I need is a floaty suspension after trying to make my wheel look more "flush"
Do it for looks, but don't expect the car to handle the same/better if you decide to get spacers.

You are indeed right about the bore's. It seems they don't have the fronts on ebay anymore.
You could always go with optionselects in the rear (integrated studs recommended unless you feel comfortable removing the hub) and H&R 70mm bore in the front.
The H&R on ebay looks to be an extra 30 or so dollars.

So if i'm running stock tires on AP2 rims and 15mm spacers will I still achieve that flush look? I'm dropped with a 1" finger gap all they way around. And did anyone see a diminish in driving feel after they installed the spacers?
