Papa bear says 25mm in the front & 20mm in the rear too aggressive.
Momma bear says 25mm in the front & 20mm in the rear too wimpy.
Baby bear says 25mm in the front & 20mm in the rear just right.

and with a fatty 25mm spacer, you might want to look into some stronger wheel studs (imho)

i think that if you got the proper sized wheels with the right offset to begin with, you do not need spacers at all. no reason to join the "fad" if you do not need it.

Take off one front and one rear wheel. Look at the offsets and wheel widths stamped inside the wheel. Share what tire sizes you have on them, and how aggressive you want them to look. Report back.

Am I the only one that thinks it looks fine the way it is? Maybe it's just the angle.

Sounds plausible, but what are the rest of the details? i.e. 18x9 +25 front 18x9.5 +25 rear.

You might have this:



or this:



inside the wheel, or both. . .

Ok, so it appears you are at 19x95 +25 and 19x10 +25. Now - what size and aspect ratio are your tires front and rear? (xxx/xx/19)

If his set-up really is 19x8 +25 & 19x9.5 +25 with 245/35/19 fronts & 275/35/19 rears, he has little room for a spacer - especially in the rear. Maybe 10-15mm front and 10mm rear, no way a 30 front and 25 rear though. That would put the front at 19x8 -5 and the rear at 19x9.5 +0, and without superstretchedsilly tires, that just won't work.
