Gen6 Spacers??

Im not sure if spacers are available for our car (08 SE v6). Just wanted to know if they are even available. If there are where can they be found? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Be careful not to mess up your setup with that.

it is going to mess up your handling. it almost simulates the understeer that a FWD with a staggered setup would encounter.

So what can be the easiest way to make my tires flush with the car and not experience the understeer?

best way - wider rims and tires, but you would need to invest some. Look around, you do not need to buy super expensive, look for specials, take offs from others cars at dealers etc ...

Actrully, you can use the upto 15mm spacers all around for the flush look and still have a good handling if not improved handling. Just make sure you install all 4 corners nd it must be hub centric or you will hve vibration problems. I'm running 7mm all around on my stock wheels and its better then not having any. To decrease understeer you would want to have a bigger rear sway bar and stiffer suspension in the rear or soften the front suspension. You can also increase tire pressure on the front induce oversteer.

I believe the term you are looking for is "aggressive fitment."

What you are referring to is called Wheel adapters.
