Yeah, I run a 225 in the front and don't have the stones to run a spacer on a wheel that turns with stock fenders.

Planning to get 25mm spacers all around. I was thinking of purchasing the H&R spacers until found the optionselect vendor on ebay. Any of you guys recommend or disapprove the spacers they are selling ? I see the ebay spacers are hubcentric and so are the H&Rs. Whats teh difference ? Looking for replies from people who actually own spacers from optionselects.

Need a little help, I have a 2003 ap1 with oem wheels and stock suspension. Thinking about running some spacers on all 4 corners but I don't want to do any fender work. What sizes would you recommend for front and rear to give it a good flush look? And also, which brand? Thanks!

Im running ap2v1s on stock suspension. 255r/225f tires...

will 20mm look good? will i need to get extended lugs? pics if anyone has any...

Thanks in advance.

having read most of this thread, i would answer the following:

it will look better for sure, but not as flush as 25mm obviously
if you buy the H&R or similar, the spacer will have bolts attached, and you bolt that to your lug. no extensions needed
as you are using V1's, the recess in the wheel will allow spacer fitment without additional bolt work

Thanks for the advice...So do the option select ones from ebay come with the bolts attached like the H&R ones? I plan to lower the car on Eibach Springs (1' drop i think), with 25mm all around, will i need to relocate the bumper tabs or roll fenders?

Spacers on! 15mm front and 20mm rear Option Selects. 215/245 Star Specs, definitely needed to roll fenders, fold up front bumper tabs, and I relocated rear bumper tabs for good measure. Definitely subtle but I like the way it turned out.

Read through the thread, but I just want to confirm... the ONLY spacers that would work with V3's are 25mm? And if I go with those I have to roll front and rear fenders as well as relocate my rear bumper tab
