looks really good! makes the stock rims look bigger. im planning to get 15mm front and 20mm in the back. did you have it installed or you did it yourself? if you did, how long did it take?

Yeah I did the install myself. It took about 4-5 hours. The fronts were pretty easy, the rear took a bit longer due to the stupid drum parking brake. They can be a pain to put back together. You also have to remove the axle from the rear suspension to get the stock studs off. It's easy but just another step I wasn't anticipating. I highly recommend you use an impact wrench when seating the new studs. It will take forever if you don't use one.

I didn't think you would be able to tell that much of a difference, but it looks great!! I'm going with a wide-body kit, so I can't wait to see what mine looks like with an even wider spacer!

Spacers look great BAJAMIKE. I was thinking about 18x8.5 stern wheels but I think I will save the $$$ for rims/tires and get these. I am gonna go with ROLLOUTRS1 idea with 15 in front and 20 in rear, cause I don't want the tires further out than my mud guards.

so lemme get this straight, if I bought a +48 offset wheel (specifically ROTA slipstreams 17x8.5).. and bought 20mm spacers, would they appear flush?

If you were to add spacers, the tires would be sticking out past the fenders. Here are my 17x8 (+46) w/ 245-40s... I couldn't push them out at all without having them hit the fenders.
