Default spacers again

Hi guys,
I'm more of a reader and not much of a poster. But I just paid off my 03' black Touring and I seem to have gotten excited about the car all over again. (funny how not having to make a payment every month can do that). She's in great condition only has 15,500 on the tach and has never let me down. I haven't done many "mods" but I have some sweet seat covers on the way and I am seriously considering doing spacers. I have no fears about damage or anything like that, and I will be going with the hubcentric ones but my question is this, has anyone gone with some 10mm up front??? I want to fatten that baby up all around.

What wheels you have, 17's, 18's factory wheels?

I thought about MAYBE using 5mm spacers on the fronts of Anniversary wheels but decided that it would be too much, so I'm just going to use 15mm on the rears. I don't want the car looking like a skateboard.

What is the distance from the outer edge of your front tire, to the edge of the fender?

It's really personal taste but I can't think of a factory Z wheel I would use a 10mm spacer for up front. I don't think it would look right, even if it does tuck in behind the fender.

You can push all the wheels out 10mm with spacers. What are you trying to achieve?

I have the 18" wheels and the look I'm going for is a more agressive stance all the way around. Somehow I just feel like the rear wheels should stick out a little further than the fronts. You can see just by looking at the body that 25mm will be okay on the back, but things are much tighter up front. I guess the best idea is to measure the gap.

Yes if they are hubcentric, on the stock 18" front rims, they will be fine.

Looking for 15mm spacers for my rears. Found these:

I don't know about the quality but I like that fact that I won't have to bang out the oem studs and that they're hug centric. Does anyone know if the H&R's come in this format as well? Or do the require replacing the studs.
