Looks sick! I'm still reading your build thread but first thing I was thinking of doing is spacers to push out my wheels a little. I won't be doing suspension for a another year or 2. Where did you get your spacers and how much? You didn't need longer studs? How does that work?

I used B2 Design spacers for the stock wheels, 20mm front, 25mm rear. They're "bolt on" spacers meaning they come with studs pressed into the spacer itself. Those in turn bolt to the stock hub. No pressing the old studs out and installing new, longer studs.

Their hub centric is also completely square and "flush" with the outer surface of the spacer. This is important if you're using aftermarket rims with a larger hub diameter and a hub centric ring. If there's a bevel, it'll push the ring up off the face and there won't be enough material supporting it.

I'm still using the 20mm's in the rear and only 5mm's up front for the new wheels.

Sounds good. Where did you get the spacers from? I like the stock ipl wheels so I'll be keeping them. Thanks.

B2 Auto Design. Doesn't appear they're selling their own branded spacers any longer.

Malbec Black IPL 6MT!
H&R 15mm spacers up front and 20mm in the rear, pushes out the wheels to sit flush. Hopefully lowering soon and in that case will have to add slightly larger spacers.

do you have any more pics? Trying to determine what size spacers I want to go with. Did you get bolt on spacers? Any change to ride/handling? Any issues rubbing? Thanks.

To answer your questions, I have no rubbing issues. I have even ran this set up on my old G with 245 up front and 275 in the rear with no rubbing issues. In the photos, I am running the stock tire size. They are the H&R bolt on hub centric spacers. The car rides the exact same and I go on many road trips with these spacers.

clean G! I like white with the black accents. I don't know why they didn't offer the IPL in more colors but nice job converting it.
