Stern ST-2

Hi guys,

I have the Stern ST-2's. Offsets are F 20 x 8.5 (+20), R 20 x 9.5 (+25), running them with Falken 451's (see my signature for tire sizes)

I don't have a BBK, and running stock suspension setup. Do I need spacers. My wheels are a bit tucked, wondering if i need spacers. If so, what size spacers do you recommend? what's the best place to buy them? Any additional comments/feedback would be appreciated. If you need any further info, i'd be happy to provide it to ya

Thanks!

I would go 15/20 to get them completely flushed with the fenders, which will require a roll in the rear

um no, you need 20mm spacers for the front, and 25mm spacers for th rear to be completly flush. The fenders need to be rolled because the tires will rub on the lip of the fender since the tire sits flush to the outside edge of the fender
