Do you guys think a 25mm spacer in the back is too much? I just wanna fill the wheel well in the rear im happy with the fronts. im running a 17x7.5 +50 225/17x9 +63 255 im thinking of running a 20mm spacer on re30's.

I spent a while reading many of the posts on this thread (among others) and I'm happy with the information provided. But I feel that there are a few things that would greatly help others.
For instance... one would contribute rubbing to certain factors like your spring rates, strut/shock settings. The stiffer and lower the setup of your suspension, the less suspension travel you would have, which would give you a lower chance of rubbing.
Another thing that would be useful which some of you did is provide your camber settings. That bit of info is so key to if you would have to modify your fenders/bumpers.
with all the information, I'm bouncing between 15mm to 20mm. I have 0 "finger" gap on front and rear and my suspension is dialed in at -2.2 front and rear. I have buddy club RSD coilovers so my suspension travel is pretty minimal. Especially when the shocks are dialed up. And of course I have 215/45 front and 255/40 rear. AP2 V1 wheels.
So I guess I'm joining the club in asking... with these variables
Will I rub without fender modification with 20mm. I'm sure 15mm is safe.
Thanks

Alright, here is the debate:
15mm / 20mm or 20mm / 25mm ??
Im only lowered on Tein S-techs (about 1" drop) and running stock 215/245
with the 15 / 20 would I need to roll?
with the 20 / 25 would I need to roll?
Also, ive been through this thread a few times and this hasnt really been answered. With the ap2 v1's, there ARE recessed dimples on the back of the wheel. That being said, are 15mm spacers too small to maintain keeping the oem studs? Or do you need to cut the oem studs with 15mm spcaers?
Thanks.
