I may just leave it as is. I'm not a fan of spacers. Trying to decide if it's going to be more work.

Adding spacers is a personal preference. I've never dealt with spacers before but the biggest spacers I would add is 10mm, which is probably use to clear brake kits only.
15, 20, 25mm spacers are too big IMO and I would rather have a minor sunken look than to put a big *** spacer to make up for it. Just buy new wheels with the correct width and offset if that's the case.

Normally I'd say you can leave +22 wheels up front without a spacer (I'm currently doing it, 9.5 wide wheel with 255 tire though), but in your case the difference from front to rear due to the +12 rear offset is fairly significant. Just a suggestion.

I share the same mentality. These wheels were already difficult enough to afford especially with the powdercoat. I couldn't find a set of +12 up front within my price range. I may just bite the bullet.

I agree. I went on a little photoshoot and it became a lot more obvious. I'll start shopping for spacers soon.

Ok can anyone clarify if these are TE37's? Im pretty sure they are but they look so much more aggressive in the curves.

It's a photoshopped picture so who knows. If I had to guess I would say they aren't TEs because the spokes stick out as far as the lips.
