just curious, my cars not dropped at all, and I can't drop it cause I'm saving my money for other things, and would have to raise it back up for winters somehow anyways, so unless anyone has any other ideas? anyways, my main question is, would it look good to run spacers without a drop.....everyone on here seems to run spacers with a drop. I was thinking of 15MM in the front and 20MM in the back if that is possible? I don't want to go to crazy because I don't want it even to be quite flush, because there is a lot of sand, stones etc. even in the summer when I will have my 19's on on my cities roads because, well, we don't really have a reason, its just a dirty crappy city. Anyways, I figure if the wheels are flush, or too close to that, then all that crap will be thrown up against the sides of my car from the wheels and make it both impossible to keep clean, and it would cause rock chips.
Ps. my car has the sport/premium/aero packages and I have the rays 19" wheels, and i have stock tire sizes...225 front and 245 rear, don't need the bigger size for performance, and figured the extra weight could make it worse on gas, plus tires are more expensive, although I would really like 235's and 255's....whatever.

your worried about weight of a tire? you cant judge the weight of tire by its size.
extra performance is not needed... you wouldn't even notice the difference if tires were swapped and you weren't aware of it.
OEM size and upgraded tire size are very similar in price. try discounttiredirect.com google it, I might be wrong on exact formation of the website name.
op put 20-25mm spacers and your asking if 15-20 would work?
yes, they do make 15mm spacers. Check the vendors here.
