Opinions on spacers

[Mikey]

I know H&R has the spacers similar to the Ichiba's. That'd be a better idea as I could remove them for the winter and not have to worry about my car looking goofy. But if I went that route, I'd probably just do 5mmFRONT and 10mmREAR. Im not looking for hella flush, just clearance and a nice, even look.

I find this interesting, because I have no spacers up front and the face of my Acura wheels (18x8 +45) are flush with the fender, if not sticking out a little bit...

If I were to correct the negative camber I'm sure they would be poking out. I don't really know what else to say besides my car being slammed and running a small tire (225)

I ran that setup for awhile Mikey and I could tell a difference (5s in front and 10s in rear )

Tell a difference how? I just know that the Si wheels(or any wheel??) sink in on the rear, so if Im going 5mm up front, I figure 10 in the rear will even it out.

As in the rears will be 10mm less sunk. Measure 10mm out on a piece of paper and put It up to your wheel. You'll be able to tell roughly what it might look like before you install the spacers

I'm running a 225 as well. But I guess it's the camber making it work on your car, I forgot about that.

225 is small?? Damn. I plan on running 215/45 on those 17s...lol.

^Not for you, your wheels are 7" in width. Ours are 8".

215 is the correct section width for a 7" wide rim. But I would go with 215/50, or you're going to have the "small wheel look" if the car is not dropped with a 45 profile.

 

[Mikey]

Do you really think there'd be a noticeable, visual, difference between the 45 and 50?

 

[Mikey]

50s are also $16 more, per tire, than the 45s...

215/50/17

215/45/17

IMO, yes, you can tell the difference between the two, and depending on your drop, it will look different as well
