Default spacer thickness selection for AP2v1 wheels

I would like ask you guys what's the maximum spacer i can run front and rear on stock alignment specs, AP2v1 wheels, and stock staggered tire sizes, 215/45 front and 245/40 rear, without having rubbing or having to do any kind of modification on the bodywork. Any pics of your similar setup are welcome!

FWIW, I ran a 15mm in the rear and rubbed slightly when I was fully stock.

i have read that thread, but it's hard to decide as most people don't mention if they have added camber, tire size, suspension setup etc hence why i started a new topic. I am looking to fill the fenders as good as possible, without having to compromise the alignment specs for stance or rub tires and cause damage. So with -2 camber at the rear and 15mm spacers it will rub? I do plan to lower it about 3/4" later on

Stock with a 245 tire, I think you will be fine with 15mm spacers. I forgot to mention that I am running 255 Re11a's, a narrower tire will definitely help. I am now dropped a little over one inch, with -2.4 camber and I rub.

AP2v2 with 15mm rear spacer and 245 tire at -2.0. Lowered to one finger gap with stock fenders. No rub.

I have AP2v1 with 255 re11A's and a 15mm spacer in the rear. I'm lowered 31mm in the rear With -2.5 degrees of camber, this is how close it sits when I compress the suspension (I put a jack under the tire):



I rubbed on hard bumps and under hard cornering. I had to remove the rear fender weather stripping, relocate the bumper screw and trim the tab a small amount.

^ Thank you for that, because I was thinking about getting frisky and running a 255 with my 15mm rear spacer. I'll stick with 245.

So 15mm rear is pretty much on the limit. What's the thinnest hubcentric spacer available?
