I would love to post some pictures, but I put my rear spacers on yesterday and I'm watching 2" of snow falling outside as we speak. So, unfortunately, the pictures are going to have to wait until this round of snow thaws.

Sam, if you're not familiar with snow, think of it as really slippery sand that eventually turns into water.

But I did post some pictures last week before the spacers...

Thanks Sam, you have convinced me to go with 20mm spacers instead of 15mm

You won't regret that decision (unless of course you get wider tires lol)

But even then, the rubbing is minor

Are any of you guys running extended studs with the spacers? I'd like to know if you guys have run into any issues before I even consider spacers.

Well HOPEFULLY by the time I need new tires I will ready to buy rims. If not I will just mod the wheel well I guess.

Oh and I was in Dubai 3 times on a deployment with the Navy in 08, loved it there except, well it was the middle of summer...

Ok before I pull the trigger on these, you are sure 20mm isn't to big for the front? I dont want the front to have a wider stance than the rear.

Also have you heard anything about the Akata spacers from Vossen? I would assume they are a a quality product if they are made by Vossen.

Im lowered on Eibachs, Sport wheels stock Bridgestones. 15mm in front 20 mm in rear.

I now wish I would have gone to 20mm in front.

Spend the money on H&Rs, no vibrations whatsoever. 120 mph, and smooth.

Very true, there's a still a LITTLE tuck with the 20mms due to the neg camber up front.

I've seen 15mm's and believe 20mm's are the way to go for a better flush look.

Even with the factory alignment of -0.6 camber.

Sam, are you getting a lot of front tire camber wear after putting the prokit and 20mm spacer on?
