25mm spacers on TL-s wheels

Hey guys,

I know there are a bunch of threads considering this, but i've searched on here, google and various other websites and haven't been able to find what i'm looking for. Does anyone have pictures of their TL-S stock wheels with 25mm spacers in the front and rear?

I have some on order and am going to be going for a pretty aggressive fitment, but i'd just like to see what they look like. I have about a finger drop all around, how badly should i expect to rub? I figure most likely I will need to get my fenders rolled...

Thanks guys

You will with out a doubt neet to get your fenders rolled, even with the stock skinny michelins. What tires are you running and what size?

+25 is a big spacer! most have done +15 on the front and +20 on the back to give a perfectly flush look.

i'm running the stock size 235/45/17's , i saw pictures of the 15/20mm setups and it wasn't aggresive enough for me. I figured i'd try something a little bit out there haha

stock michelin tires? different tires have different widths, even in the same tire size, IE my Eagle GT's have a full 3/4 of an inch wider tread than the stock tires, so I had to roll my fenders even with just a +20 spacer.

Ah i see , the two fronts are sumitomus and the rears are michelins. I'm not exactly sure of the width's on the tires, do you have pictures of your TL with the +20 spacers on?

Nope, havent taken a single picture since it was stock!

There was some rubbing with rear passengers on the stock michelins, once i got the Eagle GT's on it was rubbing over every bump, so i got out the baseball bat and gave the rears a mild roll, and its good now. Im dropped on H&R sports btw.

Once we get a few days without rain strung together (which im guessing will never happen!!) I plan to take some pictures with all my mods.

haha cool , sounds good man. I'm used to hanging out with guys with pretty aggresive fitment setups , thats why i went with the 25+ all around. the pictures I saw of 15mm in the front was barely a change for me

15 in the front is quiet alot of a change. It would be only a couple of mm from being perfectly flush if camber is 0.

i have some camber in the front which gives me a little bit of wiggle room , but from what i've seen, i don't think it will look too off. My one question is do u think it will stick out past the fender insanely?

I don't think it will stick out too insane but you might have some rubbing. I can't say this for sure but it's something to think about
