Wanted to know what people are thinking, should I get spacers to get the flush look, or leave it as is. I had both fenders rolled and ready, but now wondering if I want to push out the wheels or not.

Wheels, in case people are wondering Mugen NR 18 x 7.5 +55mm in 225/40/18 dropped on FF2s

Those are pretty conservative specs, it would help out the stance to push them out a little. It makes the car look more aggressive overall imo, but not everyone is into that.

Keep in mind if you go with anything larger than a 5mm spacer, you need extended studs.

I'd definitely go for it. You've put in so much time and money with the lip kit and Mugen wheels, getting them to sit more flush will set the car off. I'm not saying you should go hellaflush, just something to get rid of the gap you see from the side. Just guessing, I'd say 10mm in the front and 20-25 in the rear... but I'm sure one of the stancier guys will be able to give more solid advice.

Also, when you start looking into brands, you can't go wrong with the Ichiba V2.

That's what I was thinking too but needed a 'kick' to push me forward.

Don't forget to factor in extended lugs. You're going to need them. Also, you're most likely going to want to stretch some tires, so factor in the cost of those as well.

Thanks for your input, had my guy measure everything, we decided to go with 10 mm F and 20 mm R. Install for this Friday :)
