With your car lower on the H&R's Yes you would still be able to run spacers. What wheels and tires Sizes Do you currenty have on the car now?

They will push your wheels out closer or past the fender, depending on which spacers you get. You basically get that more aggresive appearance of the wheels being flush with the fender lip. You can use them with the sport springs, you just need to know what your current offset is on your wheel and buy accordingly. I would hit up the Wheel and Tire Forum with your specs and what you are looking to achieve with the spacers for a solid answer on what size would be good for your application. I hope that helps.

yep. i'm on Neuspeed race and i have 15mm spacers in the back, but nothing in front (you should go with 10mm in front though i think).

dont go to wide.. (i would go 10mm max) and make sure you buy hubcentric spacers!!

thanks a lot guys. i know i have the stock sport rims i will have to check on the tire size though.. will anything bad happen b ecause of these?? like handling different rubbing?? and if i do 15mm will i need to roll my fender

If u will get only 15mm spacers in the back, this what's gonna happen :)))
You need to match you front/rear.

it really depends on your tire size. For instance, my car is ET33 with 235/45/19 tires. I cant even get a finger between the fender and tires. On large bumps I rub in the rear, and with a smaller tire set up (larger stretch) I would most likely not. I have seen people run tires as narrow as 215/35, which pushes in the tire more towards the wheel well. I going to raise my rear about a quarter inch because it gets annoying hearing the rubbing.

With your stock wheels, I would definitely go at least 10mm. If you want more of an agressive look, then 15mm would be the best bet. But just remember if you are slammed, you would need to have tires with a stretch (OEM comes with huuuuge tiress I thnk 245's?). But as far as I know, H&R springs dont bring the car that low so 15mm might work out ok.
