I am running H&R's 15mm spacers in the rear and 5mm spacers in the front. The 15mm spacers in the rear pull my EAP's flush with the outside edge of the fenders perfectly and makes a huge difference in the stance of the car. The front 5mm spacers pull them out just enough so that they also sit nicely in the fenders. I went with the wider in the rear to give it that muscle car stance and it turned out looking perfect. I don't have any good pics but there are plenty of people in the Michigan forum that will vouch that they look perfect.

Cmon! Post pics!!

Aces ST, what size/offset is your wheels?

I run spacers on most of my wheels it seems to help the stance out. And I know Pappy runs spacers on his 17's as well...But the size of spacer will matter on wheel offset/width/drop/tire size...

yes offset will determine the size spacer needed. I will post pics as soon as I get a chance to. I'm no expert on offset but the 15mm spacers on the EAPs (49mm offset I believe) look good.
