Default Rear wheel spacers?

Does anyone have wheel spacers on the rear of their ej coupe? I am wondering how it could look with some nice wheels and a bit of camber?

It depends on what offset your wheel's are, and how big of a spacer you run.

adding more tracking in the rear will add more understeer, do you really want that on your fwd honda?

plus if you are lowered you might bump into rubbing issue

besides i haven't seen many spacers that werent smaller than a 15mm.. so w/ a +40 wheel, that would take you to a +25mm offset! which wouldn't work in the rear w/ out excesive amounts of camber and alot of fender rolling. my +35mm wheels rubbed in the rear. oh and youll need extended studs as well! and like said above, understeer would be horrible!

Project Kics makes a 10mm one with studs on it, and Ichiba makes a 5mm and 10mm ones.

You could also just look at pics of cars with low offset wheels since all the spacer does is lower the offset. Some car may have 5mm spacers, but if you're starting with a +42 wheel, there's not much to look at.
