10mm spacers

I just put on 10mm spacers and took them off right away...just didn't look right at all! I didn't take a pic (should have)...but they really weren't flattering at all. Looks like stock offsets are pretty close to perfect...maybe 5s would look okay but I'm leaving well enough alone.

All OEM wheels are tucked in about 10-12mm due to safety, less rock chips, and to accommodate different size tires / snow chains.

My setup is about 16mm wider front and rear. It's pretty "perfect" to me. I would say 12mm spacers with OEM setup is good if you run Sport mode (lower).

Maybe i'm mistaken, but 10mm isn't thick enough of spacers to be hub centric (no lip), 12mm is the minimum.

Wow your setup looks good...I was hoping for that look but no luck. Is your car lowered? Also ECS makes hubcentric rings in 10mm so that's why I tried it...but it simply didn't look right.
