Just got done installing my H&R DRM 20mm spacers...and I couldn't be happier with them. IMHO 20mm is perfect for the stock wheels. The front wheels are SLIGHTLY more tucked than the rear wheels, but I'm glad I went with 20mm all around...I considered getting 25mm up front but was worried that I'd get a lot more road debris kicked up on the side of my car. I didn't have my camera with me so I used my cell phone to take pics, so they aren't the best...but in person the difference is night and day. IMHO lowering springs and spacers (or wider wheels) are the 1st mods every G owner should do. Now let's just hope my wheels don't fall off lol

Okay enough rambling...on to the pics...



As you can see they are just about flush with the fenders without sticking out too far and looking ricey. I'm going to wash it now so I'll take some pics of the entire car so you can get a better idea of the stance...

Okay here's a before and after pic...roughly taken at that same angle...

Before...taken about a month ago


After


You can really see the difference in the front wheels...and yes the front wheel is straight in the first pic...it looks slightly turned but that's because it was so tucked into the fender

Wow, spacers really do make a huge difference, it looks much better than stock. Ivory pearls FTW!

Wait... Am I missing something? The thread title says 18" Journey wheels, but the pictures are showing the 19" Sport wheels.

Regardless, the car looks good.

The new journeys come with 18" versions of the old 19" sport wheels.

Update...

It's been a month since I installed the spacers and haven't had any problems (knock on wood). I had the spacers and wheels re-torqued last Wednesday when I had the HFCs installed. The rears were fine but the fronts needed to be tightened slightly. I drove to and from Orlando (about 3 hrs away) without any vibrations, noise, etc. It was the first time I had the car at highway speeds since I had the spacers installed so I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried/paranoid on the drive to Orlando...but I had the cruise control set to 80 and got it up to 110 a few times and it didn't feel any different that it did without the spacers.

Dr. Pat,
Since you had your Eibachs installed recently, I'd like to ask you a question. Does the back of your car seem dead level? What I mean is, does one side appear lower than the other?
I have that issue with mine and it's weird to capture it in a picture, but when seen in person you can notice very clearly. The guy that installed them checked and double-checked, it all looks good. We then called Eibach and they said to measure the height, but the measurements were within their allowed range and wouldn't exchange the rear springs.

Dr.Pat

Yes the ride height is pretty much level...just by looking at it, there doesn't seem to be any difference in ride height. If I took measurements there may be a slight difference but nothing that's at all noticeable
