Hi guys,
Thinking of getting some spacers for my rear wheel.
Any downside to spacers?
Thanks!

1) adjust your camber to make it more negative
2) get your rear fender flared
3) change to smaller spacers
4) increase your ride hide and use stiffer springs
5) change your tires to one with a rounder sidewall
just some possibilities... you can use in isolation or in combination.

Downside? No have leh.
Me got BBS 1cm spacer at the rear, no rubbing whatso ever worrr.....but then I didnt lower my car so maybe thats why. I heard from the brother where I got the spacers that the main thing is u gotta make sure the bolts which are used for fitted the rims are long enuf to be able to take the extra space. ie if used 1 cm spacer then the bolt shld be at least 1 cm longer than the ones used without spacer. Otherwise it seems that there will not be sufficient screw thread contact to firmly secure yr spaced out rims.
