Thanks fellas! I believe I met my goal! On to the next one...!
MichiganAurora do you know the wheel brand/model and what size tires you are running? Otherwise no real way to calculate it but they are sunk in from factory with the OEM stance. The rear end looks so good now. Begging for RWD hahaha.

Did I hear "RWD?" That would be excellent. The final word in "One-of-a-kind-Aurora." haha

I dont wanna get off topic but my wheels are zyoxx zx3, running a 255/35/20. Im pretty positive these are a old set of wheels, i swear i remember reading somewhere they went out of business in 03/04 if thats true i consider these rims a survivor lol. Ive looked before and its hard to find anything on them.
Again your car looks real good, you have done alot of things i would like to do to my car. Someday..

Sure you don't want them spaced out like this ? Great to see when someone actually takes the time to do something right. Looks Good!

If you look in the wheel/tire upgrade thread you might find one or two Auroras like that... Thanks! It seems to be perfect for what I was trying to achieve. A few miles on it with no issues so far.

Sall, If you get a chance, snap a rear 3/4 shot as well as a shot directly from the rear (Stance).
I'd like to see it!!

Oh.. if you notice I painted the the spare tire well black some time ago. They are body color usually and it adds nice touch to blend in with the black fascia trim. Similar low gloss but not high temp like used on exhaust and rocker covers, etc.

I think my 2G may get the same treatment if I ever get around to lowering it...

The 2G should be pretty similar measurement wise. Andrew will probably be doing something similar on his 2G. Yes the drop certainly helps aesthetically too!

I'm running a +42 offset so if I wanted to replicate (theoretically) I would get a 10mm spacer. From some preliminary measurements I don't know if I will have that much clearance between the tire and fender lip. I have to take some exact measurements of my 20" wheel and also put some washers on the rotor to space the wheel before I order. Then I need to load the back end with lots of weight and jump in the trunk to check clearance issues. There is a nice calculator that sall introduced and all the measurements seem to check but want to see it in real world application first. Sent from my XT901 using proboards

Got that car looking good. Are you going yo get some tint? Yeah re-tinting will be this spring/summer. Just deciding between doing it myself or not! Been meaning to have it re-dine for awhile now

Looking back on this thread, I'm contemplating more and more of adding a spacer just to improve the stance of my stock wheels! Try adding some washers as awehlage mentioned, to achieve the desirable look. Sall you did a sweet job!

Thanks man! I would encourage it! Dug this back up today because I just put in an order for some for the front! Will post pictures in a couple of weeks after I get them on.

Got these early last week. Pair of 10mm hub/wheel centric spacers for the front. I won't be installing them until finished with the front suspension/brake upgrade though. No since in swapping lug studs twice.
