Not getting lowering springs because PA roads are god awful and I’m not getting new rims for quite awhile, but I still want something to better the look of my wheel fitment. What’s everyone’s experience with wheels spacers? Especially over the course of a long time?

Not a Si, but I’ve had them for nearly three years without any issues. I just got back from my third trip to the Tail of the Dragon, where I literally beat the piss out my car for three days straight and they have held up fine.?

Been wanting to put spacers on my stock wheels for some time now but hear that you have to clearance the back of the wheels to clear the wheel studs.

You don't need to do anything like that with spacers that come with their own studs such as garage line. That's only for smaller spacers like 10mm which don't have studs and use up too much existing thread. And in that case you would normally install extended studs not mess with the wheel.

I've never heard quality complaints about garageline but their customer service needs work. Bad communication and things are sometimes backordered indefinitely with no ETA.

I have been rocking GarageLines on my stock wheels for over a year.
Not One single issue. Kinda hard to screw up milled aluminum.
In fact, I have 2 available right now for purchase! $60 takes them.

Flush fitment looks better, but the torque steer was annoying (especially tuned).

This is mostly correct but the 15mm "bolt on" style spacers also have this issue. 20mm spacers will not allow any interference.

Regarding OP's question... I think Garage Line makes a fine product but I can't say I have ever read any complaints about any of the cheaper hubcentric bolt on spacers.

You think I’ll have any rubbing on stock springs? If no I think I’m gonna pull the trigger on 20mm front and 25mm back.

Just installed my 20/25 garageline combo yesterday. You notice more torque steer with them on?

I ran 20 mm in all 4 corners. I have been on Swift R springs the whole time.
Only had some front wheel rub when hitting the elusive “floating” bump.
Generally speaking, no rubbing.
