Today I installed 8mm spacers out front & 10mm in the rear...What a difference! Tires are flush with fender, looks more aggressive & it actually gives the illusion that I lowered the car an inch. I was concerned about having vibrations, but none so far & I tested it up to 100mph on the turnpike today. Very satisfied!

As long as the tires are balanced you shouldn't have any vibration.

Have before and after picks?

 

[Dmilinare]

only 100mph?
incomplete testing if you ask me, lol

Would love to see some pictures!

Lmao D. I will make sure to give it a thorough test in the next week. ZO6- I've have before pics, but not in the angle to see the difference, but it is very noticeable. Dmill did 8mm all the way around & it looks nice. I think he may have b4 & after pics of his.

Definitely spacers. Soon as I have the money it's new rims, coils and garage lines spacers. This car has the potential to look like a little bulldog lol. Post pics so we can see what you have going on so far.

I did 8mm(5/16inch) like Jgunz mentioned. When J and I spoke this past weekend we agreed that the front looks almost perfect with 8mm, the back could use 10 or even 12.
J's rims are rare and with the spacers I'm sure it looks sick.

Hey D the 10's fit perfect. I'll upload pic later. If you use 12mm you would have to special order them & you would need to change out the Factory studs for longer ones. 10mm is the way to go in the rear...

The 12 mm is available from Akata and already has the studs installed. Cost is considerably more than for a generic spacer, around $75.

Where did you get these?

 

[JGunz18]

Here's a pic I just took. No drop, just 8mm spacers out front & 10mm in the rear. Major difference

LOL...No I don't because the slot that you see next to me isn't actually a slot. There's only like half a parking spot there, like if it were for a bike, but there aren't any bike parking signs. This is how you avoid dings...IJS

Excuses!! lol you got caught, admit it! :-D

I promise I am a pretty sick driver, not to toot my own horn. This is my 1st Brand New car & if it's gets dinged I might go A-Wall My 2002 MadzaSpeed #RIP had 1 ding. I blew the motor 2 months ago, which lead me to my New Love Haven't named her yet though -_-

BTW my Mazda had over 200K & the only reason I didn't keep it was because I was looking for a new motor & had zero luck in over 2 months. That motor was rare, so I had to make a move. Sure do love my VT....Literally just waxed a IS350 this morning. It had to be a 250 with fake badges & it had to be auto, because I left him parked like 3 seperate times. Once from 3rd & twice from 4th.

You're a sick driver who still hasn't told me where you got the spacers

 

[Noeskape]

I got the garageline spacers 20/25 f/r I love how they look, and the car feels a bit more stable but might just be in my head. Nonetheless great mod.

 

[JGunz18]

Hahahaha....Bro you can get the 8mm at autozone for 18 bucks for the pair. I went to a local wheel shop here in Miami & got 4 5mm spacers for the rear. 10mm is the MAX you can go w/o having to change for longer studs. You can go bigger but you will need to buy the adapter type of spacers as mentioned above. Personally I think 8/ 10 is the way to go. I think 20-25 will be too much, unless you like your wheels sticking out further than your fender.
