More paper thin brake clearance lol

That is looking like it's actually rubbing, you need spacers. If it didn't look like it was rubbing then you'd be fine. Wheels don't move anywhere.

Thats what some people were saying too. As long as it's not rubbing then I'm fine. It's not. But whenever the time comes to replace the pads, the wheels will probably rub then huh?

How flush you want?

15mm rear and 10mm front will look better and not rub.

I'd buy a 5mm spacer regardless, better safe than sorry. You don't want to scrape your brembos.

Is there a brand or vendor you'd recommend? And what's the difference between the v1 or v2? Will I need to remove the studs? Or get longer one's? Sorry I'm a newbie and just don't want to buy the wrong things.

Assuming you;re referring to Ichiba's
v1 is held onto stock studs with your lugs, if you're only using a 3or5mm spacer than v1s are fine. anything larger you should use v2. IMO use v2 regardless of anything.

V2 has it's own studs that act as an extended stud. Basically you bolt the spacer on as an extension to the hub assembly then you don't lose any thread space when torquing on your wheels.

All of out vendors on the forum are great, PM around and get the best price.

Sum it up, buy Ichiba v2s.

If my wheels are 35 mm offset in the front (coupe), do you think a 15 mm spacer be too much?

so 20 mm on the front, front is 19x9.5 w/ 35mm offsets

my backs should be fine right?

or would that spacer of 20mm instead of 15mm push it out more than the rear? Rear is 19x10.5 w/ 22 offset
