Question Recommend Spacers Size

Hi guys, wanted to post in this section as i would like to get your input on what size spacers to run with my new coilover setup! I did also buy the f/r camber kits along with the toe bolts to keep as close to oem specs as possible. I am total suspension and wheels nOOb! I want to drop the car 1-1.5" and start learning how to drive low and get accustomed to it before going any further with my drop.

For now, I have the temporary Stern ST-2's. Offsets are F 20 x 8.5 (+20), R 20 x 9.5 (+25), running them with Falken 451's F/255/35, F/285/30. I don't have a BBK, I am sure you can guess that I need spacers because my wheels are a bit tucked. I am looking to achieve the flush-to-the-fender look by running spacers. What size spacers would you recommend given the wheel offsets and tire sizes provided above. I am guessing for now i wont need new tire sizes as my drop is fairly conservative so i shouldnt have problem with existing tires? Also can you suggest if a fender roll (front or back or both?) would be needed?

To stay on the conservative side throw a 10mm spacer on F & a 15mm spacer on R. Your offsets will than be +10F and +10R. You will def. need a roll if you do those spacers w/ your current tire sizes. Like I said - it is on the conservative side, but I think you will be much happier with the look.

Fronts rarely ever get rolled. You're not going low enough to need the fronts rolled.

You might even get away with not rolling the rear (I would anyways) since your running a 30 sidewall.

I say roll the rear and add a 15mm spacer front and rear.

Apro, remember he's running an 8.5" front and 9.5" rear
