Spacers

Trying to decided between the 15/15 or 5/12 spacers on my M Sport with 21s and 375s.For a more aggressive look 15/15 or more subtle go with the 5/12? Thought? Opinions? Photos?

Here is a pic of my rear no spacers.

If you can tell the difference between 3mm on a daily basis then you're probably SOL. Just got with 15 like everyone else.

Thanks! I think I'm going to have to get some for when I put my snow tires on. Otherwise it's going to look ridiculous I think.

RGSport naturally, but I seem to have a pair of ECS 15mm spacers (or was it 20mm? Will check tomorrow) that I never installed. They are hub-centric naturally and I have a set of black extended lug bolts from Amazon as well. PM me if interested and we'll work something out.

I will go with 15/15. Looks more aggressive and the same square setup front and back, you dont want to mess too much with suspension geometry.

A bit off topic but do you sell this steering wheel trim?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Carbon-Fibe...sAAOSwTM5Ys5C7

Couldn't find it on your site

I prefer not to buy from China

I don't have that.
That is a stick on.
Some parts will looks good with stick on, some are won't.

The one that I have is replacing the center silver piece.
If you want the one like that, gotta go OEM like brandonsim did.

Yikes stick ons don't sound appealing.

How difficult is the install of the trim? Is it just removing the 3 screws and popping out the stock t rim?

Thanks

Okay, so back on topic sounds like 15 mm spacers front and rear is the way to go. Great, thanks for the input.

Any before and after pics from anyone that has installed 15 mm spacers?

I have 5/15 F/R from H&R from RGSport. Great stuff. Really makes the truck stand out. It's not something your layman will know. It'll be one of those things people will comment that your truck looks nicer, but they don't know why. I've gotten that a few times.
