Another Spacer Question...

I was going to go purchase 2 sets of 15mm spacers for the front and rear of my turbo. Now I was inclined to get 7mm for the front and 15mm for the rear but many of you say 15 all around is perfect even when lowered with H+R Springs.

Does anybody have a picture of their stock turbo lowered with 15mm spacers all around, or any spacer setup for that matter?

I may end up buying 3 sets just to try it out but I don't want ANY rubbing on fenders, quarters and especially fender liners.

Thanks for the Help.

The rear looks like it will rub in these pics. I don't know what to do, it is killing me.

They did not rub at all. I slammed it down with some h&R coilovers and no rubbing at all. The suspension moves up and in with the travel.

I would have stayed with stock wheels and spacers if I hadnt found my favorite champions used. I just couldnt pass it up.

15s all around will work fine. No rubbing.

Get 60mm bolts., They work for BOTH 7 and 15mm spacers.
