Default Need Spacer Advice

wheel/tire/suspension info.
-wheels are axis hiros in anthracite
-19x9.5 w/25 offsets front and 19x10.5 w/35 offsets rear
-255/35/19 front and 285/35/19 rear
-front camber -1.2
-rear camber -1.2 (got fenders rolled)
-h&r sports springs with "bump stop" mod (1.3 drop front/ 1.2 rear)

i've been wanting to get spacers but having a hard time deciding what sizes to get so if you guys could give me some advice that would be great. my front is almost flush so i was thinking 5mm and rear either 10mm or 15mm. Just want front and rear to come out a lil for more aggressive look.

Heres a recent pic (no i don't have any better angle shots)

5mm for fronts and 15mm for rears should give you a +20 all around which should look flush.

At least 10 mm in front and 15mm in rear.

With 5mm you can't hardly tell unless you're already slammed and pushing the envelope for how far you want the tire to sit (in relation to the fender).


Are you in San Diego?

Also, if you went with 5mm you'll have to consider getting longer bolts versus just a bolt-on spacer. I think that application is limited to only the extended studs? or using less thread on your OEM studs.

Not worth it...

I say 10mm front or nothing.

I agree. So Charley let's try 10 front and 20 in the rears. All we have to do is find a shop and will be willing to exchange the spacers in the event that you aren't happy with them.

10 for fronts but why not 15 rears? wouldn't 20 be too aggressive being that i have 10.5 rears?

I have 20mm spacers on a +24 Workmeister 10.5 wide wheel putting it at around +4 in the rear. 275/35 tire and no rub with a fender roll.

If you are not rolled in the back you might want to consider it with a 285 tire?
