Thumbs up

Yes you can.
I have recently fitted 15 mm spacers at the rear only and they fit perfectly.
My car is not lowered and even with such spacers it does not look as if it needs to be lowered ; to cut short, it looks good. The rear wheel arches look just what they should look IMO.

A buddy of mine has put some on his S2 cab but the tires touch the body work in heavy corners.
I believe his shock absorbers are worn out since I have no problem with mine (new Konis). Therefore I advise you to check yours.

You will also notice a slight decrease in understeer in tight corners.

how much to they cost? i've found some that aren't too expensive, may as well put four all around. as far as the max size of tires i'm not sure, but as far as tires i just put some kumho ecsta MXes from tirerack and they are the best tires i've ever wrapped on the rims. plus they look pretty badass too
