Help! Spacers & Tires!?

Hey all,

I just purchased a set of XXR 521 wheels. I have got (2) 20x10.5 +30 for the rear wheels and (2) 20x8.5 +32 for the front wheels. These are to be put on an 05 coupe. I have no suspension mods or anything like that done to the car.

I am clueless as to what kind of tires and what sized tires I should buy for these. This is what I really need help on.

Also, would I need spacers or should I get them? From what I understand all they do is make the wheel stick out. Do spacers serve any other purpose? I've seen some people put spacers on the back wheel to make them stick out. Would I be set with 20mm spacers or 15mm?

I would really appreciate any help!

Thanks in advanced

Since you're not lowered at all, i wouldnt go too far with spacers or the wheels will stick out. If you plan on dropping the car soon then i'd go with a bigger spacer because once it's dropped, the wheels will camber in and look really good.

If you're planning on staying at stock height for a while, for the offsets you listed i'd go with 15mm spacers up front and rear.

You can get the project kics spacers (built in studs so they just bolt on) if you dont want to deal with installing new studs. If you're more comfortable with having new studs then you can get H&R or Ichiba spacers.
