Most new performance cars could use a more athletic, performance-purposed wheel fitment. Not only does widening a car's track width decrease body roll through turns & make better use of available grip, but the new uninterrupted line from the wheel arch to the tire makes for a cleaner rear & front profile. ECS Flush Kits include the most cleverly engineered, highest quality spacers available, specifically matched to your R32's styling and performance needs.

The art of achieving the ideal wheel fitment usually entails extensive research, trial and error, and the occasional costly mistake along the way. Suspension adjustments and wheel offset alterations can be highly challenging to match correctly, especially when that perfect look is the ultimate goal. The simplest and most effective solution comes from ECS Tuning in the form of the clever StanceEnhance options - a pre-assembled, ideal combination of springs and spacers that guarantee not only that ideal stance but also a pleasant improvement in handling dynamics and road-holding.
