I think the stock wheels dont look half bad if you add a spacer to make them more flush.
This is blacktrack's car with kics 25mm spacers.

My car is RG colour. The Mitsu symbol comes off a little as red in the picture, but I actually just painted that using my touch up pen. It should look pretty wicked once mounted!

So a long while ago I had the rubbers mounted, and finally today the weather let off enough for me to put the summers on. Well, here they are, powder coated flat black with the RG mistu emblem in the middle!

Do you know if that could cause the fender to contact the tire if the car was to hit a bump or something like that?

Who makes those spacers?? Is there a link? I have a black Sportback and the alloy fuel cap. I think I'm going to keep them stock color actually...but I REALLY like the look with the spacers.

Where did you find the spacers? I was planning on doing something like this as well.

To answer your question, yes, I the bolt pattern is 5 x 114.3 IIRC.

What spacers are you using, what size are you tires, and what springs do you have on your car cause I love the way it looks.

There's a company here in Canada called Wheelspacers.ca that do a similar product to Ichiba (who also have spacers).

I only want to do a 15mm spacer and it's not a hub-centric one. But I'm not sure if my threads are long enough. I'm hoping to have the extra 15mm.

If not, Ichiba is the way to go. They are hub-centric and probably the best bet. They are only $130 a pair for the V2.
