Setup:

What size spacers would I need to get the front wheels of my coupe flush?

Setup 20x9.5 front n 20x10.5 rear.. Slammed on tein flex and stock alignment settings.. Getting slight rub when riding solo and even more when riding with passenger... How much negative camber should i have em align to get rid of the rub? Want the look to stay the same just have the top part of the wheel stick in lil more to get rid of rub.. Seems to only rub on the left rear.. Right now i believe last time i did it i was at -1.1... Should i bump to -2?

If you have the specs from your last alignment, just add another 1/2 to 3/4 deg of camber to what you have. A good mechanic can figure it out.

255 is NO stretch on a 9.5. From my experience if you want any kind of flushness with the fronts you have to run a mild stretch and a lil camber cause the way the fender/liner/fender lip is.

245 is a little stretchy on the front, but 235 is a stretchapotomus! (to me)

I have 265s on my 8.5"
