Just be prepared for people to "hate on" ur setup a little as spacing the rears out will probably "ruin your scrub radius" or "destroy the cars ability to handle" or whatever else... I dont recall you asking about this fitment for track duty, so i didnt mention anything along those lines

whats the stock wheel width 7.5 on the oem rims?

hmm maybe i wont do spacers at all then was planning to get into drifting.

Stock is a 215 on a 7"

i'll try it out with the hubs first see what it feels like to kick the rear out and maybe make my judgement from there.

I was thinking about starting a new thread, but hell why don't I just ask it here since you and I have the same wheel width (7.5") and offset (+48mm). After thinking about it some more, I think I'm going to go with H&R spacers (not Ichiba V2s), 20mm spacers for the front and 30mm spacers for the back. I really don't want my wheels falling off and there are at least several accounts on the internet of the Ichiba V2s falling apart while general consensus is that H&R makes the best spacers. 20mm/30mm sounds a bit extreme but I think that should give me 1mm of poke Front and Back with a 1" drop. I'm thinking 1mm of poke can't ruin the car's aero that much, right? Plus I'm actually doing all this for looks. The stock car actually is quite fun and entertaining for me already. My goal is to not ruin the handling on this car while making it look as cool/badass as possible without making it look too ricer (and of course trying to make sure my wheels don't fall off). It is a difficult balance, but somebody's got to do it.

Any possibility of 20mm/30mm spacers having fitment issues with 18x7.5 +48mm wheels square setup? Effectively, I think this makes it 18x7.5 +28mm Front and 18x7.5 +18mm Rear.

I think 7.5 28 18 will fit no problem as u described

Buys some of the best lightweight forged wheels to ever exist, puts spacers on them for fear of ridicule from stance nation.

Seriously, you're buying super light wheels, and then adding 2.5-3lbs of unsprung weight, ruining the whole point.

A) if hes going for aesthetics alone, ur entire post is irrelevant.
B) adding 2lbs to the center/hub of the wheel, is a lot less detrimental than running a tire that is 2lbs heavier on the same rim.
C) if the same rims came in the desired offset, i bet they would weigh almost as much as these with spacers, either way there would be an extra 20mm of metal there. But i bet if he posted "+28 wheels" instead of "+48 wheels w 20mm spacer" you never would have said anything....
