No issues, been using H&R. I put spacers when I went from 21 to 20" and the offset difference made it look awful with the flares on the S-LINe. Wife likes the ride of the 20 better than the 21. So it was written, so it shall be done.

make sure you use a quality spacer which screws into the hub otherwise you may have issues with vibration or shaking in the steering wheel when you are at speed.

side note, if you would like people to take your questions/comments seriously try speaking like an adult. you may have better success with responses to your concerns.

i would not go more than 14mm in the front but the rear looks better with 18mm... whichever you decide on go with the same size all around or else you would just increase understeer and sacrifice driveability for looks.

I suggest purchasing clear bra to install behind the wheels on the painted panels to avoid sandblasting the paint.
