Review/Feel: I haven't driven the car much but from what I can tell the car feels wider and fatter. I feel less aglie and less lean but more beefy. The car feels stable. Not that I ever felt unstable but now it feels too stable...as in more horsepower is needed and wanted (to make it feel as engaging as it was before). The stability does add to my cornering and like I said the car does feel wide.

P.S: The back tire does rub when entering gas stations or "deep dished" streets but and if the car is full of passengers or weight the back tire will rub! No questions asked! I suggest anyone looking for spacers and not altering anything about their ZHP just go with 10mm all around. I also did not get the wheels aligned.

P.P.S: The car looks more sporty and wider and cooler. And I think I will be changing the back tires to 10mm soon :p

Weird that you rub.. I never rubbed when I had my 12mm's on my rear w/ and w/o my H&R sport cup susp.

Your car shouldn't feel worse either. I noticed mine felt a bit quicker in relations to steering. More agile if you will.

I'm actually thinking of going 15r & 12mm front

The car doesn't feel worse I just feel idk fatter.. I guess I'm not use to it yet.. But I do miss feeling skinny... give me sometime i should get use to it, its not a bad feeling.

You roll your rear fenders and you shouldn't rub. Mine weren't rolled too aggressively and I get very slight rubbing only when hitting a hard bump/dip in the road. I will end up doing the aggressive roll to fully eliminate any rubbing. I personally love the 10mm front/12mm rear spacers setup :thumbsup

Charlie what size spacers do you have in the rear? and are you running 255's?

I do not rub, but my fenders are rolled and I'm rocking 235/40/18 with 15mm spacers.

Sean,

I'm currently running 10mm front/12mm rear spacers setup with stock 255/35/18s in back which gives me an occasional rubbing. Like I said, if I got a much more aggressive roll in the rear fenders I think I will be okay :)

Here's what mine looks like with 12mm spacers mounted on stock 135''s

You guys running longer lugs studs with the spacers?

[nike001]

You have to over 2.5mm I think.

Usually when you buy the spacers, you buy the longer lugs with them (I've typically seen them as a separate purchase, but the web sites tend to list them next to the spacers).

[cakM3]

Yes, with my current setup I have the extended lugs.
