opinions wanted...hella flush, or ghetto stick out?
I test fitted some 20mm spacers on my rims...and I wanted to see what people thought of the new stance...Unfortunately, I didn't have time to take much pics...so these will have to do for now...
the offsets of the rims originally is 19x9.5+29..so now i'm effective running 19x9.5+9 which according to the offset calcs, the outer clearence should equal that of an 19x10.5+22. I'm lowered in RS*R springs, which gave it a mild drop of just less than 1 inch (advertised to lower 0.8"). Pics with the spacers are pre-alignment.
so my question to you guys is does it look ok? or sticking out too much?

I would bring them in 5mm , or drop it a little with the increased camber to make it flush.

thanks for the opinions guys. I wasn't sure how they'd look...it does stick out a little bit...and the fact that you could see so much of the tire from the straight rear shot kinda threw me off.
I ran into an issue with torque-ing the front spacers (couldn't put get the torque wrench to click) since I was installing it myself...skinny dude here haha. Gonna take some time and do the front with something to jam the brakes with.
I'll probably be working on it during the week, so expect more pics post spacers later
I might also have the option of running 15mm spacers all around...I'll probably try to test fit the 15mm spacers I have now on the rear to see if that's the route i'll be going with.
One other thing I haven't tested is whether or not the tires will rub...i think that'll be what ultimately makes me decide between 15mm or 20mm rear spacers.

IMHO, you are running slightly too much tire on your setup. The wheel offset is fine, not overly aggressive. It looks like you will have rubbing issues due to the tire size you are running. From my experience, you would have to pull the wheel in about 5-6mm to allow fitment without rubbing with that tire setup.
