Any chance of a few more photos of the 15/20s? (love the frozen look by the way!!)
Thanks man.
Here is a few more. I tried to choose profile pics so you can see how it looks from different angles
Looks like the spacers you have are what I would go with when I place my order next year.

I usually go after market wheels to achieve the aggressive stance, but the comp wheels seem to work well if spaces like you have done.

Side question... do you get harrassed/ ticketed for no front plate...?
I have it Remote pull out plate.
So when I park on the streets it's always out or if I'm driving and I see a cop, I'll press a button and it's out

Here are a few better shots showing what the
15/20mm set up looks like.
Also to keep in mind, Pirelli vs Michelin tire walls are different. I think the Pirelli tends to stick out more and therefore the 15/20 set up might look like too much whereas the Michelin's have smooth straight wall and IMO the 15/20 looks just right. Again to each it's own.

Not lowered yet. Waiting for feedback on MSS springs from people that just bought it.
Spacers were bought from H&R by the shop that did the car.

I just put on a winter square setup with 10.5 x 21 wheels and 295/35 Michelin Ice/Snow SUV tires. My stock wheels are the 22's with the 315's in the rear. With the 295's, the rear seemed a bit anemic and was set way too far in for my taste. However with the wider 10.5's in the front, I felt they sat well with that extra 1 inch of width.

So I did 20mm spacers on the rear only, and now I think it looks perfect. I'll keep these for the 315's when summer rolls back around and likely add 12 or 15mm's to the front for the thinner 9.5x22's

Anybody done this setup yet? I've never had wheel spacers before and would appreciate any feedback from those with experience.
