correct me if I am wrong, but would a 15mm / 25mm make the offset of ap2 v1's:
17x7.5 +40
17x8.5 +40
Correct me if my math is wrong but 7.5 +55 (-15) = +40 and 8.5 +65 (-25) = +40.
17x7.5 +40
17x8.5 +40

OEM ap2v1,2 and 3 are:
Front...17x7 +55
Rear...17x8.5 +65
Front: 15mm spacer...55-15=40
Rear: 25mm spacer...65-25=40
You will have both front and rear offsets of +40.

I think a 15-20 would be perfect maybe even 15-25 but 20 up front is too much imo.

Your math is good but your info is sketchy...

So this is perfect then.
I had 18x8 +45 and 18x9 +43 with no rubbing. That means I should have no rubbing with 15mm and 25mm spacers as well.

ah...i thought the fronts were 7.5" wide for some reason.

8 in. wide wheel +45 offset = 7 in. wide wheel +35 offset
9 in. wide wheel +43 offset = 8.5 in wide wheel +38 offset

Heck, you might wanna look into a 20mm spacer for the front seeing how you can clear it still.

Good info guys. Can I run 15mm all around on stock suspension or will it look retarded? Or should I wait and install them when I lower it?

I recently changed up my spacer/ride height setup for more track-ability/clearance.
25mm Rear, 25mm Front
Dunlup Z1 SS 255/40/17 Rear, 215/45/17 Front
Tein Monoflex recommended height.

25mm Rear, 20mm Front
Dunlup Z1 SS 255/40/17 Rear, 225/45/17 Front
Tein Monoflex recommended height + 15mm raise all around.

I did this to fit a bigger front tire and to ensure no issues with rubbing at the track. Setup feels great now.
