What Size Spacers Should I Get For My Tenzos? Any Help Is Appreciated!

hey everyone

i want my rims to be flush with my front and rear fenders.
i was thinking maybe 10-15mm spacer in the front
and the rears im not sure.maybe 15-20?..

the specs on my tenzos are
front: 19x8.5 +17
rear: 19x10 +22
wrapped in falken 452's
245/35/19 front
275/35/19 rears

i have a ichiba rear camber kit
fronts are stock.


i will be getting my rear fenders rolled by Elite in MD very soon.
just wondering what size spacers you guys think that will be as flush as possible

here are some recent pics
thanks

15mm F 20mm R. Go higher if you want to start playing with camber

sounds right

a 10mm F and 15mm R would work too since your tires arent that stretched, either way they'll look good

If Elite is a tuner shop ask them if you can try out their spacers to see what size you want. You don't want to buy them and end up sticking out too much or too little. Also, from what I understand, if you get spacers longer than 10 mm you need longer studs.

humm ok as much as I like looking at car pics and stuff, hasn't anyone mentioned that there's a good section for this already? or did you want the general opinions of people, hence the Lounge?

on a side note I think 15 F and 20 R would look nice but I'm not sure if your handling would suffer, so probably best to stick with 10 F 15 R.

BTW what adverse effects would you get from spacers? I mean would it make the ride slightly harsher? I had them on my S3 but that was with a bunch of other suspension upgrades so I couldn't really tell.
