Spacers??

[bjblackout]

Got my steeda progressive springs installed on my 18 and I am wondering if I should do spacers. Tires looked a little tucked to me but the guy that installed the springs said he likes the stance.
What do you guys think. I am on stock tire size staggered pp1 package.

My stock 18s looked very tucked after the drop. I don't care for the look or big spacers for that matter but lots of people run them. The other solution is of course is new wheels.

I would get spacers my brother. I need to get them on my car too, I just prefer the flush look of the wheels aligning with the panels. Just my 2 cents. Car looks mint btw.

I think if you pushed the front tires/wheels out it would be ok. The stock PP offsets make it seem too tucked in. The rears look ok to me. What’s your height to the fenders?

It depends on your preference. I personally would look to get a spacer to get the wheel closer to the fender, just looking at the pictures you've posted. Does it look bad if you didn't, no.

Now, saying that, do you want to keep the stock wheels or are you looking to go aftermarket? Take that into consideration as well.

I had the same thought. The rear looks ok.

Looking to keep the wheels for now. Rear definitely doesn’t look as bad as the front. What kind and size would you guys think. Can someone send me a link. I am not mechanically inclined and have never used spacers.

Based on the wheels and offsets that I have I’d say you need a 20mm - 25 mm spacer. You can also just measure the distance to the fender.

The front PP wheels are 9” wide with 35mm offset. My LMR wheels are 10 wide with 45mm offset and they are pretty much flush. So you’d need a 22.5mm spacer to match my LMR setup.

Also, I haven’t bought spacers myself, but know that you need hub centric ones and maybe you’ll need longer studs once you add the spacer.

This looks right here and no need for longer studs:

When it stops snowing here I will get a measurement in the front reflecting the distance from outside of tire to fender. Don’t wanna go drastic because I don’t wanna risk rubbing of fenders on tires.

Here is my alignment sheet after lowering. Does this look good? I am not a mechanical guy.

Bought spacers. Will post pics when I install them.
