i have a square 18x8.5 +20 setup.
i had my OEM tires on originally but now need new tires and am looking to get spacers.

What tire setup do you think is good and what spacers would give me a flush look?

thanks

That depends on your definition of flush. If you want it like Contra (pic above your post) then you're going to need 50mm spacers.

http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

18x10.5 +15 is pretty standard setup with a marginal poke, 30mm spacers will get you to 18x8.5 -10. It will line up about the same as 10.5 +15. If you want it a bit more conservative run 15~20mm spacers. Your tires, suspension, and alignment setup will determine if you rub or not.

It's pretty hard to make an 18 x 8.5 wheel look flush. I mean that is just a stock size. You will need either some skinny skinny tires and some huge spacers for the stretched flush look, or something around the stock sized tires and some 15mm spacers. Really depends on how you want it

Not to mention the tires will look dumb from behind being so far apart and so skinny

thanks for the imput.
probably going to get 235/40/18 front and 255/40/18 rear
for spacers 5-10mm in the front and 20mm in the back.
thanks

hopefully looks decent enough until i can get better rims
