What size spacers you think I should throw on this..

My stock 18's what size spacers you think I should throw on this. I dont want a small spacer I want maybe 20mm or 25mm but what do i know... Actually Nothing really about spacers actually how they go on or work or anything.. Will it make the car handle better or is it just an appearance kinda thing..

Also do you have to get different size spacers depending on the wheel you have.. Just wondering for when I get 19" aftermarket wheels if I will need to get diff spacers or its not worth to purchase spacers at this time until I get aftermarket wheels or what.

anything more than a 10 front and 15 rear would shred the crap out of those squard out tires. you said 20 to 25, be prepared to swap tires outf or much narrower ones

Dealership said I'll have to get longer studs for the lug nuts... Looks like spacers come with studs on them?

i personally highly dislike narrow wheels with thick spacers. looks like crap from the behind with a huge gap in the middle. invest in some wide wheels with proper offset.

^true, but doesnt mean he cant make his setup look a bit more flush. Yes, narrower tires will help the cause.

^ 20mm should be fine, u may need your fenders rolled but it all depends how low you are sitting.
