Default spacers update and photos

25mm spacers on front and rear... They work perfectly... at least driving around the block once. Still need rear brakes, but couldnt wait to try on the new wheels. Looks like a whole new car.

It looks fantastic.

I wouldn't really worry about painting the calipers. Unless you really really want too.

Well.... went for a drive yesterday and there is a noticeable wobble on the drivers side front tire... I noticed a small nut on the rotor, but i thought the spacer is flush to it. I will try and take pics of this screw and post it if the rain goes away today.

nut on the rotor is to hold the rotor on when the wheel is not on.

do the spacers you have have cut outs in the back to allow for stuff like that?

no cut outs at all on the back. small indents that I think the small fits in as I dont notice a gap when the spacer is on. I'll take photos when its not raining.
