I just got my spacers installed. They make the stance perfect.

What I find interesting, since vehicles are so design-centric now, is that the rear not simply having a larger wheel well to compensate for the fronts due to aesthetics seems like an oversight.
I mean beauty in the eye of the beholder and all that.

I squeezed in 255s. And yes those are 8in. And yes I have camber plates, -2.3 front and -2 rear. No rub yet, even under moderate extreme cornering. Rear spring spacer installed. Yes the car is dirty.
