I have 20mm Bolt on Front and Back, I think they are way too heavy for me, car looks perfect though. I am going to replace them with extended studs and maybe 10mm front and back

What do you mean when you say they are too heavy for you? And did you have any trouble installing 20mm Bolton in front like others have mentioned earlier?

They are heavy as hell, makes the car slower, meaning it ads a ton of weight to each wheel. I love the way the car looks, but I can't wait to get them off and do smaller maybe 10mm with extended studs or just get new wheels with the right offset and take all spacers off. It may be no issue at all for most people, I definitely feel the difference

I have to disagree. Unless yours are made of steel, my 20mm weigh 1.6lbs each. No way in hell you can feel that specially since the spacer is located at the center of the wheels hub where rotational weight is at its lowest. If you put on a 1.6lbs heavier tire where the weights out most, you still wouldn't be able to feel such a small amount.

20/25 on swifts here. Was on stock rays but Michelin pss tires which runs a little wider than the potenza. Perfect aggressive stance

Ok I'm pretty much sold on 20/25 but do you think you might have had any issue if you were .5" more lower than swifts?

This may be a stupid question, but if you just install bolt on spacers at stock height (no spring change), would that require an alignment?

Yes I'm pretty sure 25mm rear will rub unless you dial in negative camber to tuck the top of the wheel. I run 20mm bolt ons all around on Swifts with no issues.

No.

Thanks for your input b15, I do have rear camber kit but I would like to stay in factory spec as much as I can due to tire wear. Which bolt on did you go up with up front?

If you want factory camber specs with your drop, I'm almost certain you'll rub in the rear with 25mm

I have Z1 bolt ons f/r

Then I might just go with 20mm all around b15, how do you like them Z1's? I hear good things about their products all around.

Could anybody with a lower drop or coilovers confirm that 25mm in rear will rub?

I'm 28 out from OEM and don't rub lower than swifts.

Spl mid links with swift racing 2.5" ID, 6", 10kg linear springs lowered to 26.2" on 285/35/18's. It's over an inch from OEM. Plenty of room at only -1.5 camber.
