Random note, but buying the oem rear mud flaps gives the rear of the car a much more standard look. I have a bad phone photo of what I mean.

Any one out there running this combination?

I just went to 8mm front, 15mm rear per this recommendation
Although it looks good, I’m not feeling warm and fuzzy due to finding out the
8 mm not having centering rings. The hub is 10mm, and the wheel is dished inside
leaving only the bolts to center.
I just noticed the 10mm do have rings.

???

~ 8mm front / 15mm rear most people with 17" factory wheels.

I ran 13mm front and 15mm rear with the OEM 17" wheels, and NM springs. Fitment was perfect. Nice and flush, no rubbing =)

ECS kindly took back the 8mm, and I got 10mm with the hub centric rings.

Hers 15mm rear with 10mm front!! Im done............until I need tires, then NM wheels go on!!!

Mud flaps give it that "Rally" look, no?
