So I just got my 06 3gen and she's completely stock but as a cheap exterior mod I was thinking of some mild spacers all around to give it a beefier stance for the time being..
My question is will a 10mm spacer Actually sit nice?
I just wanna do a cheap visual mod that may ppl won't notice unless you know what your looking at, plus for me to love the car even more

Let the convo begin!!! lol

 

10mm spacers will require you to install extended studs. I would do version 2 spacers with the studs built into the spacer itself. 15mm front and 20mm rear

 

^^^Chip here speaks the truth...no lie.

 

+1

15 F & 20 R will make for a nice setup.

 

tword

 

A lot of ppl do 15 up front and 20 in the rear. I'm thinking about doing this as well with my stock rims when I get my coilovers.

 

i did 15 front and 20 rear. ended up doing 20 all around. didnt like the narrower stance in the fromt. now it stands even all around. looks better.

 

I did 15mm up front and 25mm in the rear. Made the wheels look way beefier.

 

Did you just have to roll your fenders or what?

 

Yeah, I did have to roll my fenders.

 

15mm but I have high offset rims... Car corners like its on rails tho!

 

Hey guys i have G35 rims from the 03-05 coupe they are 18x8 with an offset of 30 what size spacers i can use with these

 

I've got 15 mm in the front and 20 mm in the rear with stock wheels and stock suspension. I do think it makes the stance better and doesn't effect the ride quality or anything else. And yes, it was a cheap, subtle improvement.

This is teh best side view I coudl find that I already had uploaded.


I based my decision a lot on this thread: https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...t=wheel+spacer

I also recommend getting them from ebay, they were < $150 shipped for both pairs. You just need a 5x114.3 with a 64.1 center bore.

 

So if I did 20 all around would I have to roll the fenders??

 

greetings cosmonaut

 

At stock ride height you shouldn't have to roll your fenders. I would really suggest sticking with 15/20 though. The rears already look more sunk in than the front, so adding the same size spacer all the way around is really going to make the front look further out than the rear.

Here is a good example of this, even though it's a rolling shot it's very easy to see. I have 15mm front and 20mm rear and I am lowered over 2" all around. Look how close my fronts are to the fender, then look at the rears and how they still look more sunk in. I almost wish I went with a 25mm in the rear, oh well.

 

italiano?

 

On stock suspension, I'd go with 25mm spacers.

Sick photo, Chip!!!

 

That's what I'm running, but I'm on 6spd A-Spec suspension.

 

stance a make her dance

 

I plan on lowering her 2 all around also..
Soo I'm sure 15/20 will be fine I could always add a baby 5mm in the rear later
Which brings me to my next question..
How well does the stock struts do with lowering springs ??
On my old car (Lexus es300) I had to change everything cuz the stock struts are soft as a cloud lol
I had tokico struts and intraxx springs 1.5f 2.0r and boy did that lol grocery getter drive like a dream...

 

If you're going 2" lower you're gonna want aftermarket shocks. Can't imagine the stock shocks will last long with springs that aggressive.

 

Should I go tokico??
What you guys recommend??

I've got 15's on the front and 20's on the back too. There's enough pictures here for you to get the idea.

 

I'm selling 10mm/ 25mm spacers. I have some 3mm/5mm also but i'll have to check. The 10mm are Projekt Kics so you can add another spacer on top without getting extended lug nuts.

basically, it'll look like this.

hub/ 3~5mm spacers/ Kics Spacers/ Locks/ Wheel.

PM me if you're interested!

 

06tl4life, can you give me a link to where i can purchase the same setup you have? I have the same idea of keeping the stockies and want a beefy look and like the way yours look. I have the same car pretty much! Looks Sick, I like it!

 

Yep, here's the link for the spacers i got. Just make sure you get the mm you want and the correct bolt pattern for the TL.

Can I run 15/20 mm spacers with 255/40 tires on stock rims? I'm thinking of going for a drop down the road, but not sure if tire size changes the game in any way...

TIA

 

I'm lowered on Stechs and was wondering if I went with a 25mm spacer in the rear, would I just have to roll my fenders or would there be more involved like pulling them too? I've got stock 235 tires...

 

why not get wider tires on stock rims!?

im running 255/40/17's and they fill in pretty good!

 

Thanks much!

 

Any pics with the wider tires???????

 

Like this one?

Why yes, I'll whore my car out!

 

^Now that's sexy!

 

So your saying instead of spacers.. I go with wider tires???
But I'm sure it's a lot more money then the 235 size tire.. -_-
And much more then the spacers lol

 

of course it is.

 

Ill stick to spacers lol

 

How do you like the Dunlop star spec justin? Those tires run pretty wide and loud.
