Spacer/ Fitment gurus. Chime in

I popped on some 15mm spacers in the front. What do you think of the fitment?

Too much? just right? Of course it needs a drop but as far as sitting flush, am I on the right path?

Front:







What do you think about the rear? Add or 5mm or leave it?

Rear:






Thanks for the help

You might want to hold off on making anymore decisions about spacers until you get your car sitting exactly where you want it since you mention you want to go lower. The more you lower it the more the wheels will tuck. Of course this can be fixed with camber adjustment but it just all depends the look your going for so I would suggest you wait until you lower your car where you want and then figure out what size spacers you need. I would also recommend you get aftermarket toebolts and endlinks for your rear and a arms for the front so you can adjust camber to your liking. The reason I mention this is because your toe looks to be quite off on that overhead shot looking straight down on the rear wheel. Anyway, I think your spacers for the front will fit perfectly once you lower the car a little more. Nice car collection by the way

^ +1 I would wait until you get some coilovers/springs and are at the height you want.

Your rims will tuck in more once you drop it so there's no point in making it flush now if you're going lower later.

Props to your pops for that Ferrari in the garage.

First, you are asking a subjective question when it comes to proper fitment. You're the one who decides what looks aggressive and what not.

And like everyone else has said, a drop would have been the better first step. When you drop the car, the wheels tend to look a little more sunken in due to the increase in negative camber. Once its dropped, you would have a better idea of what might be a better size spacer depending on what camber settings you want to run.

^^ i disagree, the front is just fine imo. just needs a drop. there are many people running much more aggressive setups than that in the front.

OP - it may help if you post up your wheel, tire, alignment specs, and what you plan to do with suspension/ride height, etc.
