O_o? ur tread is about Spacer or Drill/slotted rotors ??

For Spacers Get HubCentrics with extended Studs/Bolts... some call it Lug Bolts... but make it worth it ... by that i mean thick hubcentric ..
i got them on the Rear of ma GT.. in order for my Rotas to clear thats y.. but want them wider still.. i did notice more stability on hard cornering than before

another option is to buy mags with more negative offset. this will put the wheels wider. i installed ford mustang mags on my wife's Camry, the difference was amazing. wheels where barely inside the fenders. cant say much about handling since the Camry is not build for that and i dont drive it a lot, but it was a lot nicer that the stock crappy mags that left them way inside the fenders.
i think they do that since it keeps the car cleaner ( water splashes inside the fenders leaving the body clean) since camry owners are mostly old people.

@ 91 GT yeah i suppose its both haha i forgot to put it on the tittle.
ok ill look into spacers sounds like it will benefit cornering harder since last time i made the back lose traction i suppose it went into a powerslide but i had to step on the brakes cuz of traffic infont lol

so are those rotors good or i should just go with reg rotors

How big do you want to go on spacers. I just got some 20mm(2 days ago) and they are just a litte to big I might be able to cut you a deal on them so I can purchase some 15mm ones. Let me know.

well i gots stock size wheel size so idk if spacing them out too much will look ugly but i suppose it will benifit since there not wide tires maybe on stability. if u put them in the front those it affect steering? or improve? but show me pics so i can see like how much they come out. because im probably gona lower mine soon about 1.5" inches and dont want the tires hitting the fender wish it was a gt-s so i could have bigger fenders lol

Well it will just make the wheel sit almost flush with the fender. Something that I personally believe looks a lot better than the wheel hiding inside. I dont think it will look bad, as for cornering stability. In theory it should make it better but you are only widening the track by ~1.2in so its not a lot, juts a little. I personally think that I did feel a difference, it felt better under hard cornering. As for the front maybe a 5mm spacer but something like 20mm on regular rims would not be good. Your wheel would be sticking way out. If you wanted mexi-poke than a smaller rim and then it might might work

If you are interested ill take some pics tomorrow and post them. I looked at some of your cars photos and you have a huge gap in the rear so even with a 1.5" drop I believe you will be ok. I raised my car up a little and I dont have rubbing issues but I have to run a little negative camber just because my car is so low(I scrape on speed bumps.) In your case I think that these should look fine and will not cause any rubbing issues. You would be able to stay within spec on your alignment and it will probably look a lot better. Just my 2cents.

Snowfork, subspec, garry.....(anybody)..feel free to give your opinion.

Ok yeah i saw the pics u posted on a thread. Looks like urs definitely hits and rubs against everything. Then again ur tires are what 17" 18" dimmensions idk but but are smaller14" 65 /185 i believe so ill see after droping it cuz ocasionaly i have ppl in the back. So the front ill need 5mm spacers? Im considering in dropping the front too just that 1.5" might fly of my mudflaps cuz theres pretty big dips were i live and idk if lowering the front that much will scrape the tires when turning too so ill see how lowering my car goes lol
