Front wheel spacers

Hey guys... im looking for opinions about front spacers. My father mentioned that the car would look better if the front wheels were closer to the fenders..

Thoughts?? I might actually agree with him.

I agree too. You should be able to go 5 to 10 mm wider or more, but it will depend on your rim's offset.

I think if you go too aggressive, it adds more stress on the wheel bearings. It may also rub when you turn at full lock. The bearings may wear out faster.

Scantu, how do you like your GT2 bumper? It's from Getty, I presume. Is the top vent functional or looks only?

If you run a very 'flushed' wheelset, watch for the lower panel getting 'sandblasted' by the tires picking up debris.
