i have an xi and i'm dropped on h&r sports right now. the car just doesn't look right. idk if its the height or offset but it doesn't look that aggressive to me. do you think if i put spacers on the car the gap in the wheel well will be less pronounced and look less empty? i don't wanna really drop it as that would make my daily driver less.... uhh daily driveable. sorry if this is a dumb question but i know very little about suspension and wheel mods. so what do you guys think? do i need spacers to make me happy or do i really have to do a drop w/ coils?









btw these were taken while i was still running 265 in the rear and now i'm running 275

spacers only make your rims stick-out more, hence a more aggressive stance. How big are your rims if I may ask?

Front - 19x8.5 +30mm offset wrapped in falken fk-452 235/35/19
Rear - 19x10 +37mm offset wrapped in falken fk-452 275/30/19

yeah i'm def looking for a more aggressive stance and not necessarily more drop. but would it look weird? do you think the spacers would be enough to make it the car look aggressive enough to match the wheels?

I have H&R sport on my car with 5mm spacers it definitely looks aggressive. Here are some pics

you could get coilovers if that really bothers you. Although now I have koni yellows on, my rear does seem to be a bit lower now, but ride is stiffer, less scraping over humps Less rubbing too

also from the looks of your picture i think you need spacers on both front and back. Maybe 5mm in front and 5mm at the back or you can do 10mm for the back with max fender roll.
