Im in the process of buying H&R spacers, but im not sure what to go with? I have the stock 20's and i will be lowering it. I read some of you go with 20mm and others go with 25mm? Not sure what to buy.... Im just looking for the best look without problems. Thanks to all!!
 
I would say definitely not - the back wheels wouldn't rub with Eibachs and 50mm spacers. They don't turn, so won't ever hit the fender.

The front wheels look like they can take another 5mm without rubbing, no problem. I think Ege was running 25mm all around with H&Rs with no rubbing.
 
I wouldnt think you'd be able to run a spacer that size on rims that big deff not on fron maybe on back, also depends on wheel offset and width

I want to add 24's next summer so would it be a better fit to go with 20mm or 25mm, since i am also looking to put on Fx50 BB kit retro-fit as well?.

Actually it totally depends on the 24" rims you get - the offset could be completely different than OEM (+38). You might not need a spacer at all. The spokes will be completely different too, so even if the 24" wheels have a +38 offset, there is a chance you would have interference with the retrofit caliper. Just depends on the design you choose for your new wheels.

I remember one member - Ege - did the brake retrofit and he was running 25mm spacers.
 
Ok so im going to get some 22" rims installed on my fx35 next week. The rims have an offset of 40 so i was wondering if i put H&R springs on what size spacers would be the ideal one for the car 20mm or 25mm? or are spacers even needed?
