15mm Spacer Install Pics

Installed H & R 15mm rear spacers...installed OEM 5mm front spacer also...now I have to drop this car by 15-20mm...

Driver rear is with 15mm spacer and passenger rear is without spacer...pics dont show the very noticeable difference very well.

You've changed the rear offset from 67 to an effective 52. Very close to the stock turbo rear offset of 51. Looks like a nice fit - 295 tires I presume. Those are obviously the narrow body fitment turbo style wheels. I have the turbo wheels with 305's and they are even more aggressive to the wheelwells, perhaps a little too much.

No...I bought the OEM turbo wheel with 57 and 51mm offset...I have C4S so my lobsters that were removed were 57 and 51mm offset....running 305's in rear.

one last thing about using spacers...I was very surprised I could feel the difference after a short drive...car feels more planted now...surprised these spacers could make such a difference...perhaps I'm imagining it.

cb333 is infamous around these parts
so the wheels stick out more, what about the gap between tires and fenders? did it decrease the gap at all? (or at least look like it did?)
