I recently added some spacers to my daily driver and love the improved look! I have a stock GP1 with the stock 18's. Does anyone know what size spacers would work with my setup without rubbing?

Look closely, especially at the rear wheels. I found that my wheels, relative to the inner side of the rear wheel arches, are different. If you just drive your GP and not aggressively, you MAY be able to add 5, even 8mm spacers and get away without grinding away the plastic inner liners of the rear wheels. I track mine and, because of compression in tight turns, opted to go with just 3mm spacers front and rear. I think it looks great without being too obvious yet it gives me better handling.

Thanks for the input! Are you saying that my wheels are not the same as yours? I'd be taking the car to the the occasional AutoX and track, but it'll mostly be energetic street driving.
