I was thinkng about 10mm or 15mm, but after looking at the wheel well again, I think 15-20mm.

What brand do you guys suggest? H&R seems a popular choice.

Just ran out and managed to snap some pictures so we can have a better idea on the spacer thing.

I think I will get torn deciding between 15 and 20.

Spohn you sux LOL Yes im jelly (as Kenman would say) Congrats and post details. I'd love to get some sponsors when I get my ZL1 and start tracking it.

Alcheng you look tipped in at the top on the rear. You said your align is good though right? I agree you need some spacers, I have 20s on the back H&R.

Footloose I agree on the H&R's.

Can anybody see the pics that Mc posted I can't.

Mr.alcheng- from those picts I recommend 10 or 15mm for the rears only. Wats the offset and width of those rear wheels? Also do the wheels have cavity between the lug bores on the disc? Your stock lugs will protrude about 12mm (for 15mm spacer) if you use bolt on type so make sure. If 10mm you'll want to get the stud replacement type.

H&R DRS spacers. These have the removable studs which arguably makes them more safe. I've had mine on for over a years without issues. I drive aggressively.

Alchemy I also went h&r as many others have. You definitely get great quality they are the best ones one the market. I did another common sizing I have seen a bunch of guys go with, 20mm drs spacer in the front 25mm drm spacer on rears. I think what size you go with should be based on how flush you want to be. Personally I'm more into the hella flush wheel scene over the stretch and poke look jut preferences. You can check the pics of mine in my thread I linked below.......GL and happy modding
