Anyone have a setup of 15mm spacers in front and 20 rear?

Looks great from some pics, a little too much for me in others.

No rubbing issues at all, I love the look and wish i could go a little lower but feel I would lose driveability. The rear tires have a large rim protector that sticks out farther than any other tires I've seen. Car is lowered about 1.4 inches all the way around. I believe th ground to fender height is approx. 26.6inches all around.

Is there a real difference in quality among the different brands of spacers (e.g., Ichiba, H&R, CZP, Kics) or is the only difference based on price?

the hub ring on the H&R protrudes farther into the wheel than the Ichiba. It made a difference with my nismo s-tune wheels.

Does that mean that if I get 20mm front H&R spacers that I don't have to get hubcentric (i.e., I can just get bolt-on) or do I still have to get hubcentric?

Go with the best in quality and no issues with fitment = H&R

Personally, I find this setup to be the most impressive. What do you guys think?

I agree the look is awesome. I may have to sell my unopened H&R 15mm fronts and buy the 20mm if there is no rubbing.

Thanks man for the feedback. These will work then for Eibachs (1.0" drop) with no rubbing issues...woot..woot. Looks like I am gonna have to spill some $$ on the 20mm to mount up front.

That will give me 15mm, 20mm and 25mm to tryout, then sell the size I do not use.

Yeha they'll work fine, just remember with eibach the look will not be the same, the rear may seem to stick out further if you only go with springs.

Thanks Josh, I have SPC rear camber kits, to dial em back in with. What camber are you running in the fr and rear with your 1.4" drop? I would think with that kind of a drop that you would need upper control arms.

-2.4 rear and around-1.4 front. No arms in the front, totally stock
