Judge by the Pics, What Size Spacers?

I'm looking to do spacer on my sedan, current setup is 18x8 +40 all around on 245/40/18 dropped on h&r 350z sport springs. I'm thinking about 10 front and 15 rear. Let me know your thoughts. The pics aren't the greatest, but should help.

That would work great and you probably won't even need to roll the rear, it'll be a few mm short depending on your tire size.

I'd like to run a semi-agressive setup since this is my daily driver. It looks like it's either going to be 10/15 or 15/20. Any pro's/cons with going for the more agressive spacer? I know fender roll, but prolly camber kit in the rear as well.
The tires are actually being changed now, thus the neglect on cleanliness, now I just need to polish the rims up.

So you like the volkswagen "squating" tires folded in look then. 10/15 would give you a nice clean look near maximum flush. If you want to push it farther and make a hoopdie car go for it.

+25


but to be sure. Take a ruler and measure from the outside of the rim to the fender and see how far you want to go.

Do you want to roll your fender or not. You mention you are changing your tires, going to same size.

I will be rolling the fenders in the rear and sticking with 245/40/18 all around. I need to remeasure everything, but it seems that it would almost be better with the 15 up front and the 10 in the rear, but I will have to check later.

Ha

If you go +25 have JOKER and SFLG35 come over and make them fit for you, then video tape it and post the hilarious film here for all to see.

Never take advice from coupe drivers about putting wheels on your sedan unless they give you the curb feelers, fuzzy dice, metal flake paint and hydraulics to go with the advice.

advising based on the pictures YO!

I did mention RULER didn't I. How hard could it be to put a ruler against the wheel and see how much is it to edge of the fender.
