Default wheel spacer question

i am running 245 in the front and 285 in the rear

my offset is 35mm all around

does it affect my handling if i put 25mm just in the front since my rear is almost tucked since its wide enough

19x8.5 front and 19x.9.5 rear

thanks

with a 35 mm offset what do you mean tucked? I would never want my tires tucked i like them flush with fenders at least. I think it would look stupid if you put a 25 on the front and nothing on the backs. 20 all around or 15 front 20 rear would be good for my tastes but to each their own.

you want to run 25mm in the front and 20m in the rear. youll be fine. if anything it will help your handling. i highly recommend both ichiba and project kics. if you go with the kics make sure you have the indentions on your hub ring and make sure you buy the hubcentric rings.

front: ~25mm more clearance to the fender
rear: ~10mm more clearance to the fender

clearance will also depend on other suspension mods...lowered/camber/rim size, tire aspect ratio...

IMO 10mm looks ok - best bet is to go out and actually measure how much room you have. Tires of the same specs, but different brand/model will differ in the actual width, so when you start to push the edges, you need to measure it for yourself.
