Wheels are matte gray. Yeah not sure why they have a bluish tint to them. They only come in matte gray or bronze.

We have the same wheels, Im going with a 10mm in the front since im running a 255.

I have a 3mm for the rear, still havent put it on but my rear is already near perfect, 20x10.5 +42 (I believe) w/ 285, what was yours that you needed a 10mm in the back

Mine was the same in the rear, 20x10.5 +42 with 285/30 tires. I like mine super flush and 10mm was perfect.

damn really !? no rubbing ? sometimes when I hit a big bump on the highway I rub the rear a bit, I might do 5mm now instead and try that out.
Mine does look like .5" lower than yours tho

I got my 10mm spacers yesterday and installed them last night, I am rubbing quite a good amount now on the front, but not in a bad way. I think Im going to lift the car about .3" that should help a bit as well.

I got 3mm for the rears I will install later this weekend.

Yours is pretty tucked. I can fit a finger between my tires and fender all around so I don't have issues rubbing. My Megan's are set pretty soft too (about 10 clicks from soft) all around.

yea I cant fit anything in between, and since I have the V8 up front I had to go all the way hard on the ride so its not so bouncy. I never played with the heights simply installed them how the coils came from factory

but with the 10mm up front they look great, could use a bit more poke but my tire is a bit fat being a 255/40 on a 9"

Just wondering if you guys are getting high speed vibrations from the spacers. Just put on a pair of 15mm in front and I'm getting some shaking past 60mph. Maybe I have to reinstall them.

Im only using 12mm but no noticable vibrations up to 160-180km, i had 18mm front on my e90 and they were pretty much vibration free aswell.
I did just have 4wheel laser alignment done .
