Running spacers is like running a wheel with a more aggressive offset. Tire wear doesn't change, wear on other components doesn't change. What does change is where the wheel sits in the fender well. Make sure to get the correct length wheel bolts when grabbing your 20mm spacers, HERE is a link to our ECS Spacers with the proper wheel bolts.

I put 20mm ECS in back...non in front, 19" all around. I'm thinking maybe putting the 20mm up front and throwing a set of 30mm in the rears...Just maybe:) Comments welcome:dunno:

30mm is a huge spacers! We currently don't make one quite that massive and I highly advise against stacking spacers. The only one I would trust is the H&R 30mm found HERE. It is a different design than our ECS 20mm spacers, the H&R 30mm bolts to the hub then the wheel bolts to the spacer (a lot of lug bolts to make sure you properly torque).

I went with H&R 25mm DRA spacers on the rear, none front. went to 38et offset staggered 19s all around (8.5s & 9.5s) for the added tire/wheel offset.

Thanks. Im undecided between the 20 and 30mm. Hmmmm what to do. Price is the only think keeping me from jumping on the 30's.

The H&R 20mm spacers install with low head bolts supplied with the kit too, the OEM wheel bolt secure the wheels. To all who install this H&R 20mm spacer kit....the wheel bolts must be cut/ground down by at least 1/16" on the thread end so they actually secure the wheel. If you fail to do this, the bolt will bottom out against the hub and not secure the wheel.

Any pictures yet? I'm thinking about buying some 30's for the rear so it will sit flush with the body so I don't look like a hover car :rofl:. Im currently sitting on stock 15's...
