you guys think adding spacers to my current set up will make my wheels look bigger ?
when I had my 19" carlsson's they looked nice and big, they also protruded past the fender and quarters by about 5 mm making it look even bigger, I really liked the stance ( I'm not talking super wide protrusion but a light, 5mm protrusion )
I want to give my 19" work wheels the same effect by adding some 5-10 mm spacers all around, do you guys think it would make a big difference ? (yeah I'd like more lip on the rear but the wheels are as they are)

From those photos it does look like you could get a 5mm spacer in and it will look better. Lowering more means more neg camber, pulling the top of the wheel away from the fender. You will definatly need spacers then.

no I got these at RRR in gardena.
these have more lip in comparison to the Wald set at memoryfab.

I think that spacers and another half inch drop would do the trick, does anyone have some spacers the you could try on to see how it looks???

Are the tyres stretched at all? Hard to tell from the pics; if not you might have a few rubbing issues when you space it out!

try some 3mm , then 5mm.
See if there is rubbing. Yes it will make a difference.

yes sir i think it might be worth the while- it'll add the signature "wide and low concept" a little more

u think 10mm would be too much ?
I really like the "wide" look similar to this below:
what kinda spacers do u guys reccomend ? H & R ? does anyone else make spacers ?

For 3mm and 5mm you can get the cheap slip ons anywhere. Or get the oneton garage spacers
10mm is a tough size to find because you will need to install longer studs. On some cars its a real pain.
Project KICS by Mackin are very good. They are bolt on with studs pressed into them.
I can't tell what size you need from your pictures. The small ones are generaly about $20 so I would get a set of each , test fit and go from there.

Lowering it to the point where your fenders would tuck some tire would do the trick. It will change the entire look and feel of the car. Tuck them tires. :)

I have a question: what size tires on what size wheels are those?
And yes, spacing them will be cool (esp after you process your fenders)
And yes, lower the car just to the point where tread disappears...always a plus
