Optimal Spacer Sizes

I hated that stupid rear bumper clip and bolt. Those came off quite quickly once I saw they were the culprits cutting my tire up..

Reviving this...

Im looking at TMS's spacers, 17.5mm for rear and 15mm for front, do I need extended bolts with those?

^Yes!

Those will make your car look a lot more agressive if you're currently running no spacers at all

thanks, then after more reading, im considering 15R and 12.5F...

Yes again.

Purpose of these spacers is:

Handling/Performance?

Looks?

More about looks. Some would say a wider stance does help stability. Others say you're introducing another point of instability between your wheels/hubs. If you're not racing, it probably doesn't matter.

Mostly looks, but I can feel the difference. With my specs mentioned above, I've widened my track by almost 2 inches all around

agreed unless you are drifting the car sideways or pulling really hard G's on embankments or turns, it's not gonna put enough stress on them to make it unsafe. Just make sure to get extended bolts and it'll be fine.
