My 15mm spacers came in today. Threw them on...and what do you know...they FIT! It barely had enough clearance but it did have room. So now I'm led to believe that anything less than 15mm would have not have sufficient clearance. Now just have to wait until Saturday for my 20mm spacers to come in so I can get rid of teh ghey factory offset tuckage.

And Jim, thanks once again.

Hell yeah! That's awesome man! I wish they would have fit my fronts too... I think I'm going to have to do extended lugs and traditional spacers... sucks!

Post pics when you get them installed!

Yeah, so much easier to be able to run the PK's.

Here is the only pic I have for now.



I'll get more pics after I install the 20mm rears. WOOHOO!

Probably one downside would just be adding more stress to the suspension components, but it's nothing more than any aftermarket rims + extended studs will impose. I didn't roll my fenders yet. It's been rainy over here in the Seattle area so I can't tell just yet if it will rub horribly at this height, I'll be able to tell once the sun comes up and dries the roads. But I plan on running 225/45/17 in the fronts so I'll probably end up rolling my fenders a little bit. It also helps to have some extra negative camber. I'm running -1.5 camber currently, but I might increase that a little bit to possibly -1.7? Maybe a little more? We'll see.

Well I got the 20mm spacers on finally. The rears rub the fender on big dips, so I'm going to need to get them rolled and possibly pulled a bit since I'm thinking about running 255's. I'll get some pics up tomorrow if its sunny outside.
