Paul and a couple of other mechanics were looking at my wheels. They said the spacers look to big, they said I might be putting to much stress on the stock bolts.

I might have to extend the front bolts once I take out the front tire and see how much thread its using because of the spacer.

I really don't know if I'm going to go with the Teins I might even get the GF210's. Or maybe even Robi's springs depending on how the drop looks, still haven't seen how much of a drop his springs give.

BTW thanks for the comments guys

You should've already gone ARP extended lugs for anything over 5mm.

PS. search, Buschur has a baby blue Evo8 with Robi springs installed, looks good!

nice wheels but my question is why are you running spacers?

i have mine with tein S techs, no wheel spacers or extended lugs, and 255s and they fit perfectly with stock fenders, never had them rub before and have full lock to lock steering.

I have a buddy who runs s-techs, but now he needs new struts.

FYI- I am curently running the s-techs. Installed them on the car at 6k. They work well for about 35K +/- . My car is currently at 43K and I need new struts already. Needed them about 3k miles ago. They do not last a long time and will shorten the life of your struts. Who knows, maybe you will have better luck than the majority who have run the s-techs and ran into issues. I would not buy these again. ever.

I just recently setup a purchase to buy used IX struts with only 13K on them. And then going with new SWIFT spec R springs and TEIN front upper adj plates.
you will love that setup. <3

you need to take closer pictures and take one with the front wheel cocked out so the tires is sticking out and show some rear fenders up close..
