I was originally going to go with 25mm (1") spacers on my hatch, but later decided to ditch the OEM wheels/tires completely.
The funky shape of the car's front fenders make the spacer thickness a tough choice. I'm happy with what I have, but I understand why live4redline went with a slightly less aggressive spacer up front.
Just remember that virtually all vendors will not allow you to return a wheel spacer once you have bolted it onto your car.
I like the look and stance of your car as well. Had I kept the 2014 Mirage and was looking for new wheels I would go with a more agressive offset like you did. But since the new Mirage came with decent looking 15" Lancer style wheels I will try spacers for their economy.
I hesitate to be as agressive with spacers as I believe the assembly is weaker than a proper wheel setup.
Because of this I too will try to achieve the desired look with the thinnest spacer possible though it is a bit of a compromise.
Thanks again to both of you for a wealth of information. I will try to put it to good use.
Will weld for beer.
