I ran into a lowered/spaced vert and it looked so much different then mine.
You know how the rear looks Hella sunken?
I'm thinking 10-15 front / 25 rear.
It looks alot neater.
Post what size and brand your going to purchase. Op

Actually, I had to shorten the factory studs so they wouldn't protrude above the spacer.

Wouldn't that mean you were using adapters instead of spacers?

225/50 or 225/45 is no problem on the vert BBSs, I have a set I use for autocross, and use 225/50 Kumho 710 rcomps on them, which are more like 235 section width. A wider rim would be better, but it works.

As far as the FD loosing it's tires autocrossing, that was the wrong nuts, not spacers. They seemed to engage the threads and torque, but as soon as load was put on they popped.
