i will order my lowering springs and camber front n rear and spacer 2gether so i can`t do the measuring step, my plan is to go 20mm F & 25mm R and GF210 Springs.
my Q is : with lowering the Z i must got less mm spacer to get flush look ??
as if i get 15mm F 20mm R with lowering i get the look of 20mm&25mm ??

let me ask about it in another way :
is better to go with spacer out of the fenders and get a negative camber to fix it to flush Or from inside fenders and positive to reach flush ?
( one more time : get 25mm or 30mm and bring it in with negative camber or 20mm/15mm and pull it out with positive camber)
when i say better i mean better in handling, looks, safer for tires and its mechanical part of the tires.
thank you

Hi,
I went through the thread, but didn't see anybody has the same setup as I do. Therefore, I decided to ask and hopefully someone will chime in. I'm thinking to get wider tires such as 245/40/18F, 275/40/18R or something similar without rubbing. Here is my current setup.
Wheels: OEM Rays Track
Spacers: H&R 25mm (F & R)
Springs: Tein S-Tech
Thanks for your help.

I have OEM 18" wheels and I want to put spacers without any cut/sand/seal my rear fenders (oem suspension). So as I understood I need 20 and 25 mm spacers with hub centric rings? Which spacers can u recommend for easy installation? And do I need replace wheel studs?
There is some example as I want with rims that I have:

KICS with Hubcentric rings is what is on the car and also is one of the easiest to install because the studs are already set in the spacers.
Just torque to 85lB's like your wheels and thats it.

Hey guys, I am looking to order some spacers this week, so I had a question about the hubcentric rings (before I saw this thread) so I gave CZP a call. They said that although the Project Kics rings will fit on the CZP spacers, that with stock wheels, I do not need the rings. Then I came on here and did a search, found this thread, and see that people in here are running the hub-centric rings with their stock wheels.
I don't know why CZP would tell me that you don't need them because I'm ordering from them anyway (had many good experiences with CZP parts in the past), and would have also ordered the rings from them if they told me I needed them. Which is it??
Any downside to running them without rings? Does anybody on here have spacers without them, any bad experiences? I'm confused now because I know CZP knows their stuff..
