    Spacer advice

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey guys need some advice.
    I'm currently running 9 X 20 ET26 wheels with spacers (F 5mm/ R 10mm) however I find it a little too "bulky" looking to my taste.
    Therefore I was thinking to go with only 5mm in the back with nothing up front.
    I know that this is ultimately a question of personal preference however what do you guys think?
    Thanks in advance !

    What are your tire specs? Any photos of your current setup?

    Everyone's got personal taste. Shouldn't cost you anything to try out moving the 5mms to the rear. Just give it a shot for a week.

    Fitting the spacers made it rain!

    I'd leave the spacers on but perform a Sundance every morning.

    Yeah I would just run the 5mm in the rear and nothing up front and see how you like it. Personally I think the 5 up front and 10 rear is just about perfect fitment for your car with those wheels.
