30mm spacers on my fx

Looking at the after shots of the work done with the roller, it looks wavy/uneven. I would fear the paint would crack and start peeling off. I like the look of added spacers. With my stock 20" wheel, no lowering performed, would I need to roll the fenders? And what size spacers would give the closest look to flush? I assume I would need the same size all the way around but I am truly unsure.
 
Paint won't crack if you use a heat gun and work slowly/ gradually. OE set-up with no drop i bet you can go outside of the well with no issues......
 
For stock 20s 20mm spacers are ideal. You can even go 25mm on the front for complete flush. Most members here have 20mm all around. I'm lowered on h&r springs and my rear tires poke a tiny bit and I have no issues with rubbing. No rolled fenders either so you'll be fine without rolled fenders even if you lower it with springs. Ppl who have coilovers and go even lower need rolled/trimmed fenders/plastic.
 
installed my spacers 30mm(R) and 25mm(F) ....it wasnt exactly what i wanted but i like how it looks, i wanted the front to be flush and the rear to poke out a bit the front ending up poking out a lil more than the rear(gonna measure it when i get more time) all in all i like the new look and cant wait to drop it.(pictures was taken with my phone. maybe if we have a meet then one of you guys can bring yr cam and take decent pics.

Thanks for the pics... I agree that the fronts poke too much; 15-20 mm out from stock seems to be best.. The rears look great with the 30 mm if you were looking to be fully flush to slight poke.

^^^+1 on that. Rears look good, To me, I think the front only needs 15mm spacer for your 21s to be flush.
 
+2 on that. I think the rears are perfect. That's the look that I'm looking for. 15mm on front probably would have been ideal, but its hard to calculate.

Why don't you flip the spacers 30mm(F) 25mm(R)?

^^^ ok i switched them around ///4872[/ATTACH].......the fronts already poke out a lil to much but it doesnt look bad because of the fx's shape if i put the 30mm up front its gonna be overkill...the 25mm in the rear wouldnt be bad tho it would be flush-flush but i wanted a lil poke....the 30mm in the rear is perfect. i am gonna put on the full body kit so with the lip the front should look perfect as well.

Will 30mm spacers in the rear rub lowered with H&R's?
 
Thanks for your input PMG. 30mm spacers on Dwayne's ride look sick but I'm thinking of lowering mine soon with H and R springs so which size spacer you think will work on the rear with no rub lowered?

Lol "that's what she said" good one PMG haha
 
If you lower more than 2" with coils and don't fix the camber, the negative will likely pull your wheels in enough to tuck with a 30 mm.. Might be close with HRs. .also depends on your tire choice.. To be safe, 25 mm in the rear would make it flush without issues on springs..
