bro if u lower the car like i did, the rear sinks in more than the front..look up the pic of my car and u will see what im talking about. unless u did not lowered and only had rims, then the car should look fine.

I have H&R spacers and they are great. I don't think you need spacers for your application, but it might look better with some. Probably not more than 10mm tho. do the research, i'm not positive going from memory. i think mine are 35 offset rear w/ 10 mm spacers. they fit very nicely. make sure the spacers are HUBCENTRIC (have a centering ring)

YES!

Hubcentric spacers are designed to fit snuggley against both the wheel and the hub.

Normal spacers, which are basically big washers, are prone to moving around alittle causing noises or vibrations.

Hubcentric spacers are worth the money.

10mm will bring the top of tires flush with the arc of the fender and give the lower portion an aggressive look with the curvature of the bumper. Any more that 10mm would make the tire stick out and look silly imho. You will also have to get lugs that are that much longer.
