My car is a 2000 base. I have 18" wheels. I have the standard sized tires with the OEM Pirelli tires.

any suggestions on what size spacers I shoudl go with - or what sized spacers is considered "standard" if there is such a thing?

I have seen a couple photos online here of spacers - but not many posts that decribed what sized spacers to get for a car setup like mine.

My car is not lowered now - but I may in the future do mild lowering with either ROW M030 or aftermarket springs.

I don't want my wheels to "stick out" but wan them to be more flush with the wheel wells...right now the wheels look a bit "sunk in".

i have seen some ebay retailers selling sets that include 7mm front and 14mm rear, plus bolts. i can get themin silver or in black. maxspeed motors sells a black setup that has everything i'd need.

i'm wondering if 7/14 woudl be not enough or just right. I believe another forum member here, crios, has like 17 or 18mm spacers... not tons more but for sure thicker.. and photos of his car the stance looks great.

i don't want to upset the balance of my car - and I don't know if the different spacer kits will change that to a degree that I would notice.

thanks for any suggestions.
