Default New shoes for the spring!

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics, but I picked up a set of 19" Champion RG5! I got a pretty good deal on them, so I am pretty stoked.

They came clad with Toyo T1-R's - not sure I should keep those or replace with Hankook's I have at home. Any feedback on the Toyo's?

And lastly, I'm planning to use 7mm spacers in the rear to get them out a bit more. Any recommendations on spacers (H&R, OEM or something else)?

I'm waiting till it gets a bit warmer before installing them - hopefully, in the next couple of weeks.
