do spacers have any negative impact on handling? does it just depend on how big of spacers u use. it always seems like theirs some bad thoughts behind using spacers. im sure allot of people cars could look better if everyone useed spacers.

as long as you don't go for HUGE spacers, they will be fine. I have put tons of autocross time on my 5mm spacers without any problems whatsoever. Tons of people in the euro-tuning scene have been using them for years without issues.
Yes, I'm sure someone is gonna chime in with some opinion that says otherwise , but i know that mine have worked flawlessly and my wheel bearings are still perfect despite running offsets that people would call "too low"
and besides...take a look at how good the stance looks. pokin out just a little on both sides
Nice, Rally! Did you have to change to a lug conversion kit or do you use the stock lug bolts with the 5mm? I was tossing around doing the 5mm or 8mm madness spacers but I wanted to avoid having to change to lug nuts for cost reasons. I know some kits are only $50 but that's for stock length. Most I've seen double for longer bolts. Thanks!

i drove to summit racing and picked up a set for much less than $30 and they were polised and anti-theft too so i viewed them as a nice upgrade as well as allowing me to run the spacers safely
They were around $250 a piece. With the Toyo Proxes the whole package came to just shy of $1,400.

45 offset. I was actually thinking about spacers in the rear. The picture is a little misleading. The fronts are perfect, but the back could use a little poke. We'll see.
thats real nice! i rmb enkei only make these in 7.5J width right? those 45+ are quite "out there", nice indeed !
