really? i have both eibach and H&R bolt-on spacers in my parts bin and they are pretty much the same diameter on the lip. both work fine on the car. ive yet to read eibach's or kics's lips sheering off like H&R though.

$200 will only buy decent sushi for two. although, ive been treated to sushi in Ginza which can cost about $350+ per person... if you're an arse they will charge you more especially if you arrive with a cute girl.

I am wondering though...Does the width of the tire have much play when adding spacers if at stock height? I'm about to add a 275/305 setup and had been thinking about a 10/15 or 15/20 spacer setup.
np. yah, if you're going to do wider tires you'll want to stick with conservative offsets unless you plan on lowering your car. the wider the tires get the blockier the shoulders will look and it will make your car look lifted. im not a big fan of beefy looking tires on narrow wheels.. the sidewalls get sloppy too. i'd stick with stock sizes on the sport 19's...maybe do 285/35/19 instead of 275/35/19 on the rear max.

if you dont plan on lowering your car, keep the profile of the sidewall kinda tall. for example dont do 285/30/19 just because you went from 275/35/19.

sidewall is the % of the width of tire in mm. so for example

275/35/19 or 275mm x0.35 = 96.3mm height sidewall
285/30/19 or 285mm x0.30 = 85.5mm height sidewall (too short imo).
285/35/19 or 285mm x0.35 = 99.78mm height sidewall (closer to original)

i dont know why in the hell they use metric for width, yet inches for diameter. lol
