Default 15mm/25mm or 20mm/25mm

I have a 00 with 05 ap2 rims and tires. 215/40/17 front 245/40/17 rear. I have F Sport coilovers and want to go as wide as possible with spacers. I'd rather not roll the fenders unless I have to in order to get the right look. I want the beefy low look. Can anyone help with suggestions and before and aft photos.

if you don't want to roll fenders, i would suggest not to run 25mm in the rear. i would go 15mm all around if you don't want to roll fenders

my set up:
lowered on fortune auto coils
stock ap2v2 wheels 215/45 front and 245/40 rear
20mm front and 25mm rear with rolled fenders, rear bumper tab relocated and trimmed rear bumper, trimmed front fender liner
very slight pull in the fenders for good measure (unnecessary though)

BEFORE:



AFTER:

Camber plays a part in fitment as you know. 20mm in back and 15mm up front with the right camber will fit without rolling fenders. Throwing these size spacers on with what ever your current alignment is may or may not give you an issue, it depends on where our at. The point is to push these wheels out as far as you can without rubbing so being conservative isnt really in the vocabulary here anyway. Rollin fenders is always a sure way to give you the most aggressive fitment. With the ap1 wheels back in the day I ran 25mm spacer all the way around without rolling fenders. The ap2 wheels are pushed out about 6mm more then the ap1. If you notice the fronts stick out about 5mm more then the rear from the factory alignment spec out of the box, so either match the camber front to back or run 5mm less spacer up front to make look even and cause less rubbing issues, certainly if your not rolling fenders.

Do you think I could go 25mm back with tabs moved and camber only ? No rolling or pulling ?? And thank you for the info and photos. Your car looks like what I want.

it also depends how low you want to go as well. i'm at a finger gap from the top of the tires to fenders right now and i think my rears are about -2.2 to -2.5? something like that
