Spacer help

is it dangerous at all to put, probably a 10mm spacer, on the rear. i feel like making my car look more aggressive with stretched tires and an outer offset


i wanna make mine as aggressive as the white panny, but unfortunately i can't lower it as much as he did because of my techart aerokit. Alrdy have scraping issues as it is.

What do you guys think? should i keep mine conservative or go a little bit more aggressive with stretched out tires and spacers

I think the white Panny is a little too much, keep more conservative.

Well it depends on you, if you are afraid of scraping the road and the fenders then I suggest to keep it as it is because it is already beautiful. But, if you prefer to go for stance then you def need spacers, drop it more, camber, and stretch&poke. Often scraping is normal when comes to aggressiveness, but I am just giving ideas it is really up to your call.

Try a set of 5mm on the front also. I just installed a set of Modulare's also
and that's what i did.

I had 5mm on the front and 7mm on the rear of my P2S w/ OEM TurboII wheels and I really liked the stance. But my car had the air suspension so I could get it low enough to suite my tastes.

I think anything larger than 7mm spacers in the rear and the wheels will be sticking out a small bit.

I personally like ultra aggressive offset as well and I put 12mm front and 5mm rear on my ADV.1 wheels and I love it!!

From the pictures it looks like you need 10mm front and 5mm rear

Currently my panny is using 16mm spacers front and rear with my oem 20" Spyder, had them for at least a year, did many 160-200km/h trips continously for 2-3 hours. This thickness is recommended by the mechanics whom I ordered the spacers from, but I honestly think 17mm should still be ok, and any thinkness less than 16mm shouldn't have any issue.
