If you don't want to roll the rear fenders 20mm is about perfect.

Yeah I did some measuring and decided 25 mm would be too much with +35 offset, which is definitely true. 15 mm would even be good.

Maybe it's psychological, but I swear the car feels more stable with the wheel spacers.

Your car looks amazing. Is that the original paint?

Thanks, it's original except the rear bumper. Got slightly rear ended a few years ago, but only scuffed up the paint so I took the bumper cover off and had it repainted. The roof and spoiler are starting to show its age though from sitting outside while away at college. Do you ever make it up to B'ham?

It isn't in your head. The car's handling will change noticibly. When I swap my 15mm spacers on and off the back it makes a huge difference in understeer vs oversteer.
