I went with 5mm up front and 15mm rear. I really wish I had gone with 10 and 20, but it still looks better. I just got a new phone so all of my pictures are home on my computer, will update when I remember to do so :dunce:

My tires are 215/60r15, what do you guys think a good amount of spacing would be for them, she's now lowered yet but if I do lower her, it will only be like and inch and a half in the back and 2 in the front.

@Braves- Your wheels look almost flush with the fender as is. If you do decide to add spacers, I would suggest 5mm front and 10mm rear; regardless of your preference I wouldn't go more than 10mm front, 15mm rear, even that will have you poking a little too much.

I still need to post pictures to this, I'll see if I can do it from my phone now

Again, wish I had gone with 10mm front, 20-25mm rear. I played the safe side but am still pleased with the results

I think that looks great as is. quick question, with the 15mm spacer in the rear are you still on stock studs?

xci.ed6, thanks. I didn't realize they were 16.5 until I got the tires mounted. weak offset.

Any spacer over 5mm requires the use of longer studs. Unless you use Ichibas or similar style.

I'm running extended studs with the 15mm spacers. The studs came with the spacers (ebay), not sure how much I can trust them but they're holding up just fine.

Also, what part of RI are you from? I'm from Riverside
