EVO X Stock wheels on Spacer?

Hey guys,

I just recently lowered my car on H&R Springs and I'm beguinning to notice that I really need some spacers lol. Does anyone have and pictures of their car on spacers and stock wheels?

I'm not sure what size I want to get or where I should get them from.

Pictures down the side to show how far the wheels stick out would be best if possible.

25mm seems a bit much to me. And most spacers come with new studs in them.

There's long been anecdotal stories and keyboard warriors proclaiming that thick spacers can cause premature bearing wear, but I can't honestly figure out how a spacer is any different than a comparably offset wheel (current offset minus the thickness of the spacer, for instance, +38 is stock offset -25mm for the spacer = +13 equivalent offset), and I've never heard of anyone actually burning bearings prematurely due to spacers. Obviously YMMV. I've never personally run spacers, but I wouldn't have an issue with it unless it was some ungodly huge spacer to get insane poke.

That said, make sure you get good ones like Project Kics/Ichiba or H&R or something like that. Don't cheap out on them and you will be happier.

The spacers have studs on them. The spacers are secured using the factory studs. Stud length will not be an issue. Been running Ichiba 20mm spacers for 25K miles with no issues at all.
