spacer question

Just got these on my g. 20x10 R - 20x9 F axis se7en +38 and +37 offset

I know I can easily add a 25mm spacer in the front. The rear looks close, and yet, still look so tucked.
Also, this guy is charging $170 for all 4 spacers.
Just curious, is it worth payin $85 for 10mm in the rear? or ccould I go further without having to roll the fender ( i dont even know what the hell that means)
tires are:
275/30/20
245/35/20

here are a few pics:

They look fine the way they are. you need to lower the car though.

personally, +23 is about as far as i would go running 275 (10" width rims)
on the rear.

so if you start at 38 in the back you can probably do a 15mm spacer
without rubbage. if you rub a little, just give it a slight more neg camber.

I agree with lowering it. I've recently started reading suspension/lowering threads. Have to admit, I don't know much about how to lower my car; but I do know what looks good. Lowering it would look good and thats about the last external mod I would make. well...maybe a custom front bumper with fog lights this sh_!_t can be addicting and really put a dent in your bank account.
I've been getting all kinds of people offering me good deal on turbo kits..every time, I balk.

i think rolling your s=fender is taking that little strip of metal on your fender and rolling it up so it's hidden and when you hit a bump you won't rub on your fender. or it's either rolling it out like a widebody kit sort of.

coach me up on spacers

reviving this thread because I need some advice on spacers and how they'll affect the clearance in my wheel wells.

I'm currently running 20x8.5 +25 up front and 20x10 +30 in the rear with un-rolled fenders. I'm also dropped on z Htechs w/ the springmount mod and don't rub during normal driving (speed bumps too). I think I'm rubbing my struts when I turn into inclined driveways & parking lots (wheels pivots up and inward), however, so I want to give myself some more clearance.

The current plan is to install 5mm spacers up front and 10mm spacers in the rear. Is there anything else I need with spacers of this size (new hub centric rings, elongated studs, fender rolling)? Also, would I be able to get away with 10mm spacers up front and 15mm spacers in the rear? I don't care much about being flush with my fenders, but I figure I might as well get close if I'm doing the work anyway.

Any advice is much appreciated! Thanks!

What tires sizes are you running and camber settings? If you are willing to roll your fenders, I would go 20mm up front and 20mm spacers in the rear. The type of spacer you will need will depend on whether or not your wheels are recessed areas between the holes to accept the extra ~3mm of length that the OEM studs extend beyond a 20mm spacer.

245-35-20 up front and 275-30-20 in the rear. rear camber is close to factory - i'm running spc rear camber arms, but nothing up front. also, i'm willing to roll my rear fenders, but i'd prefer not to if its only being done to get the wheels flush. thanks redlude!
