I've been neglecting the car all winter.
No mods, no cruises, no love.

After I was done washing and waxing this weekend, I liked the car again.
However, I really miss the look of my aggressive offset (et42 Ronal R-38 18x8).
No rubbing thanks to the coilovers being dialed in perfectly (HPA).

Question: Is anyone running spacers on their OEM wheels?

Are you running a 225? No rub I imagine? Where did you get the wheels from?

Default Me too. I'm putting mine back on in a couple weeks.

Hopefully we don't get a freak snow storm late march like last year.

I just put 12mm spacers on with my stock 5 spoke wheels. Looks WAAAYYY better now in winter mode...fills the fenders better. No rubbing at all in hard cornering, haven't had the car fully loaded (other than the wife and 2 kids...the 4 of us add up to about 330lbs) I'm sure it'd be fine with a full load tho too.
Sorry no pics yet.

Default I tossed the Hartmann's and T1Rs back on after running on the stock wheels and P6 tires for Tahoe.

WOW!!!! What a difference! I can only imagine how hard it is to wait all Winter:-(

Default 225 indeed. Wheels are from Ronal. No rubbing, but I'm not slammed.
