Default Anyone run spacers on the '06-'07 OEM Rays

So does anyone run spacers on these wheels? The OEM offset seems somewhat aggressive, especially in the rear, but perhaps some spacers in the front.

18x9 +30
19x10 +30

IMHO they are pretty damn aggressive already. Any more outward may cause rub issues.

+1 for somewhat aggressive. I wouldnt put more spacer on them, if anything u can do will be change the tires size from 245 to 255 and from 265 to 285...i cant remember a guy here who did it but it was done and they came alot closer to the fender and almost look like its going to rub but it never will...pls chime in if u read this...

Are you lowered at all?? Reason I ask is because i'm lowered on Eibach Pro's and the wheels seem to fill the wells nicely. I do sometimes think the fronts could be more aggressive but the tires are stretched so a fatter tire should make that up which i'm planning on doing when the time comes. Good question though man.

I have stock suspension at the moment. 255s up front and 275s in the rear.

Yeah, the back is fine, but perhaps just in the front to even things out.

look at it this way. the volk te37's are 10.5 wide in the rear with a +22 offset. you could run the 07 track wheels with a 10mm spacer front and rear and it wouldnt even reach the same offset as the te37's....

you make no sense. slow down and attempt to use better wording.

spacers are for rim issues, not tire issues...

a nice simple breakdown of your setup (and by setup I mean, rim width, offset and tires sizes) and yes, I know you already said the width but I want it all together.
