wheel spacers on the stock Viii rims?

My evo sits on Tein lowering springs (dropped 1.5") but the car doesn't have the aggressive stance I would like and I do not really want to buy better rims right now. Has anyone used wheel spacers with the stock 8 rims for a better more aggressive look so the fender isn't hanging out farther than the rims?

I run 20mm's on evo 8's and 9's. Needs minor roll in back with stock tire size, if you want to skip the roll do a 15-18mm.

Well the next set of ZRI's I'm putting on my black stock rims will be an inch smaller and half an inch wider than stock size so I don't think I'll need to roll them at all

I'm running 15mm all around on stock wheels. IMO get some 20mm and it'll look better. I'm looking to buy some 5mm spacers to slip in and bring the wheels out just a little bit more.

I've seen this on a few Evos and it looks good. Since you're going to a narrower tire in the rear, you can most likely get by with 20mm all around. If it rubs in the rear, rolling the fenders is easy. You won't have to worry about bumper tabs or anything like that.

I like H&R spacers because I've never seen any quality control issues and they include the hubcentric rings. PM me if you need help getting a set. We usually have Evo stuff in stock.

Did you guys have to adjust the fender for those of you who installed a 20mm?

Installing a 20mm on a +38 wheel leaves you at +18. You can get away with this up front but the rear will cause serious fender issues if not addressed.
The rear will need a tight fender roll & slight pull
