3mm or 5mm Spacers?

I want to be flushed, but i am not sure if 3mm or 5mm spacers in the rear will do. I am scared if it's too wide, the tires will hit the fender. Any ideas?

Hard to tell how low you are from that pic or if you fender is rolled... Also are the tires stretched at all? The pics are honestly too low quality and not angled enough to tell, but if you are rolled you should be able to fit spacers easily on that. My wheels are way more flush with a stretch and rolled fenders, so you definitely should have some room for work.

Are your fenders rolled? Current wheel specs? You could just go measure it yourself lol, 3mm= slightly under 1/8" and 5mm= slightly over 3/16"

The fenders are rolled. Tires are not stretched.The previous owner i bought it from didn't know the specs either =(

Sorry pics are low quality. LOL, i guess i might just have to measure it myself then. PIcs were taken with my iphone. FAIL i know.

But say, with 3mm or 5mm spacers, you don't need to have extended studs do you? Factory studs should be fine?

I would do 5mm i think you'd be ok. Worst come to worst you may have to pull your fender but a very slight bit but even that i dont think your going to need too with 5mm.

Or he could just add a little bit of camber to clear if he rubs with the 5mm spacer.

Get extended studs if you go with the 5mm. Better to be safe than sorry!!

its hard to tell but where the quarter panel and the rear bumper meet theres a bump up almost as if the fenders are already pulled

I only had it rolled, i haven't pulled it. Thanks for the input fellas! Say, if i go with 5mm, would be strongly recommended that i get the extended studs? Car's is daily driven.
