One of the first items I wanted to address on the FL5 is the less than ideal wheel offset. I didn't want to turn to aftermarket wheels since I'm a huge fan of the 19-Inch Matte-Black Alloy OEM wheels. I decided the best path forward is to explore wheel spacers to move the wheels and tires outwards so they are more flush with the fender. The question that often arises is, "What size wheel spacer should I run to achieve the desired stance?" The answer is: It's a matter of personal preference. This thread will serve as a reference to help make that decision a little easier.

Have you noticed any negative affects with the quality of the ride, such as noticeable understeer, the car not holding a line through turns, or sloppy turn in? I’m definitely thinking about doing the same thing to my Boosted Blue fl5, so I was just curious about your before versus after experience?
