It is aggressive, there's no doubt. Everyone who looks at the car prefers it that way. I did spacers on one side and left the other side for others to judge and give me their input. I actually did all combos possible with the wide body turbo wheels:no spacer front & 7mm rear, 7mm front & no spacer rear, 7mm front and back. It was unanimous...except my brother whom said 7mm front and 5mm rear. I've gone 7mm all around.

As for the gravel, I haven't noticed anything! I've had the wide body wheels on for a year now and nothing and I doubt an extra 7mm is going to do much. Even in stock form with the wheels nicely tucked in, look at the rear bumper...the bottom curves in towards the centre of the car and would be vulnerable to stone spray since the tire tread is "outside" of the bumper. I have no paint chips or sand blasting anywhere. I do have some sand blasting on the rear bumper portion that's behind the wheel and parallel to the ground (basically you need to be under the car to notice) but that is expected and nothing can be done to avoid it unless you wrap your car.

OKB is infamous around these parts
Pretty much for looks, unless you try to set the suspension for some racing purpose and have it aligned with a specific spacer, wheel setup
It does look alot better especially in the rear on a widebody car with the tires set outto the fender edge

Congrats on the new ride, looks great!

I am also interested in seeing any pics available of widebodies with wheel spacers... I think this is the next thing I want to do with mine, but as I am new to P-cars I haven't seen any in person...

Have fun!
