Awesome! Hey where did you get your 5mm spacers from? I just got some off eBay also in 5mm but I honestly don't feel that comfortable putting them on my car because they are slightly bent, like they don't sit flat. It's nothing crazy but I'd rather them to sit perfectly flat on the hub.

I got a pair of H&R spacers with studs shipped new for $67. I dont remember the site but it seemed like a good deal. Didnt use the studs, rides the exact same.

Try to get involved so you know what to do when you do make changes cause once you get coils you will be making adjustments frequently till you get the ride and ride height you like......

You can use stock primacys on the 8.25 also......... Save some money for something else besides spending more on new tires?

The ones I got were cheaper, I guess that explains the quality lol. I'm just curious if it's safe to run them like that, maybe I am overthinking it.

same specs , 17x8.25 +25 , stock michelins 215/45/17 but powdercoated in a bright candy red. they're seems to change colors on a different lighting.

Looks awesome. How much clearance is there between the face of the rim and the calipers? I assume that you went with the +25 for the extra clearance. Do you think a +35 would have cleared your BBK?

Thanks man! The space in between the caliper and the spokes are about 10mm , but I'm not so sure . I'll measure it tonight when I get home .

My firestorm FR-S with 18x8.75+35 in matte bronze on Continental DW 235/40/18 on Swift FR-S Spec Springs. Really satisfied with NL Motorings customer service, got the wheels much earlier than expected. I'm in love with with these wheels and this setup esp in terms of looks, fitment and weight. Haven't got to push the tires yet but I can already tell there's already tons of more grip.

Full red from ft86speedfactory, I had my tails vinyled before but it started peeling off so i decided to get these. Night and day difference between the two, these look much better than the vinyled stock

about 5/8" and 1 3/8" space in between the caliper and the inner spokes....so I guess the +35 offsets will clear those brembos too.

I opted the +25 simpy because it looks more aggressive.
