Just painted my stock wheels black the other day, and now i am really noticing how the wheels are set in from the fenders and it is really bothering me. Now i am lowered on tein s-techs which is the problem... would i be able to fit wheel spacers on the tc with stock wheels lowered on s-techs without rubbing? I was thinking maybe 20mm spacers all around

You'll have better luck with a 10mm-15mm spacer.

I dont remember the OEM wheel offset..think its 45..putting 10mm will bring you to 35...So you will rub on speed bumps and dips...

a 10 wouldnt be bad at all, 15 would be more flush (i run a +23 offset with spacers in the rear and i rub like crazy i had to bring the rear end up till i get my camber links) so i would say 20 would be way to much for you (my fenders are rolled and pulled fyi and im running ~-2* camber) conisdering you dont want rubbing, i would go 10 front and 15 rear.

i would go 10 front and 15 rear.

That's what I would do too.

alright thanks guys.. still debating whether its worth it.. i think i might save the money for a different mod.. that could be one of the last ones... 10mm i dont think makes a difference.. all though i have not seen pictures

10mm is a huge difference. It will make your wheels come out flush with the fender.

10 will make a difference, i thought 15 wasnt gonna be that much but it is.

What would rolling the fenders involve? bad idea?

rolling your fenders could be a lot of work, i have my fronts rolled, and my rears rolled, pulled and hammered. its a lot of work for me anyways and is till rub... but i want to go lower...
