But more importantly... I'm feeling the need to get spacers for these 18's. I think they would look better not-so tucked in. 15/20mm? 20/25mm?

I’m team ‘never run spacers’. You never want to add an additional slip plane to a bolted connection. |

When you add a slip plane to a bolted connection you are doubling the shear force it sees. Now there’s a huge safety of factor on bolts but S.Fs are for unknowns (i.e. flaws in machining or material strength etc.), not to be used knowingly. If you pull up to a Discount Tire with spacers on they will turn you away. All the tracks I know of have the same rules. People use spacers everyday, I’m just not one of them. |

![]() Probably holds more than my G. I left it at a buddy’s one night and told him to drive it and see if he thought anything was off. He drove it to the grocery store and figured he could buy a lot more than normal since he wasn’t in the Z. Boy was he mistaken. |
