Spacers are on, NO RUBBING! I have like 1mm or maybe 2 of clearance at the rear fender, but my god, it looks so much better. Before I had a 5mm spacer in front and 0 in back, switched to 10mm up front and 5mm in back. 215/35 in front and 225/35 in back on a 19x8.5 et38

The front is sitting very good now.
The rear still needs 10-15mm more.
But it's a step in the right direction.
edit:
Btw I really like the last shot
edit2:
A suggestion for your kidneys. Maybe try switching the colors around, i.e. the kidneys themselves in black and the bars in them in body colour, like this:

10-15 more is impossible, don't forget that I'm running 19x8.5s here. You 17" guys are spoiled :P The most I could do with these wheels the way they are is 3mm more, and that would involve cutting fenders, which I won't do. Anything more than that and the tire will be touching the fender while I'm driving. I literally have 1 or 2mm of clearance, enough to shove 4 or 5 business cards in. The tip of my pinky is way too small to fit. etc. etc.
In the future I'll get bigger lips and ditch the spacers, or just get different wheels
I will admit that the front needs to go lower though. It's bothering me already lolLast edited by hi its me alec; 07-07-2009, 01:07 PM.4 Cars, 0 Cupholders

Not impossible alec.
I have 13mm of spacers on the rear, not rolled, 19x9.5 wheels.
Try different tires. 235/35/19 and you can fit much more in there.
Once I roll fender, I will be able to push 15mm maybe even 18mm :naughty

He is trying to keep from rolling which is why I threw these suggestions out to him.
