20mm spacers installed

V&S. They are in bayside and have a special of 99.99 for an alignment on the hunter machine. They do exceptional work. Next year I'm raising my x a 1/2 inch, get SPACERS, and head right over for another alignment.

Well since they are winter wheels, they are not staggered. I actually feel a significant difference in handling (maybe it's just in my head). I love them though. If i had staggered wheels I'd only put spacers on if i had the fender flares--otherwise the wheels would stick out too far IMO.

Nice work Naz. To me spacers make all the difference.

I need to get around to putting spacers on my X as well. I've got the same wheels as Helmuth but no fender flares. I also see people and their random measurements, but unless I'm just a complete idiot (that statement was rhetorical ), I'm still uncertain about why my measurements seem so much larger than everyone else's I've read w/ different wheels.

heres a question.. do spacers effect tire wear at all? i feel like it would shave the inside quicker bc of the wider stance

In the rear, no. They accelerate suspension and wheel bearing wear, but I don't think you would see any change in tire wear, given correct alignment.

In the front, in addition to the additional loads on the suspension and wheel bearings, you are changing the steering geometry and scrub radius, so you could see additional tire wear there.

Question about your wheel spacer. I have that same wheels as you but do not have ant spacers. But I think mine stick out more then yours. Camera angle? Is there different versions of these wheels?
