BTW I'm from Canada, so another reason why I'm hesitant. Not the best roads plus winter.
Assuming you have the 17x7 +48 stock wheels the you will have 8mm less poke than my 18x7.5 +21 setup with my 25mm spacers.

The 20/25 combo spacers won't be perfectly flush but the few milimeters less than flush will mean less crap sprayed up by the front wheels in the wet.

Vibration with quality spacers is rare.

I didn't have an alignment done until I lowered. Not sure if correct but as the spacers are even on the hub I assumed alignment stayed the same just the wheel track is a bit wider.

Do it man, you won't regret it? Have a look at my build thread and see what I've doesn't and this is my cheapest mod but my favourite mod!

And, we have crap roads here in NZ too. Lots of them are stone chip on top of tar seal. Our highways are asphalt but we font have the smooth concrete roads of many countries. Our winters are very mild though compared to yours!
