Default AP2 Wheels w/ spacers?

I am planning to put a set of spacers on all four corner of my S. I would like the wheels to fit aggressively flush with no rubbing at all. I was thinking of running 20mm up front and 25mm in the back. As for tires I will be running a 225/45 up front and 255/40 in the rears. Fell free to post your stock wheel + spacer setups! I am curious to see what you guys are running! Also if you can include what fender work was needed to achieve certain fitment that would be very helpful. I look forward to seeing what you guys run! Thanks!

Well it all depends on what OEM wheels you plan to run on your car. I have AP2V1's with 15mm spacers all around on a lowered AP1 and just a tiny bit of rub on large dips or bumps. I also have 15mm spacers all around on my AP2 at stock height with AP2V2's with zero rub.

I have integrated studded spacers and they work for my application but it depends on the wheels and what your plans are for the car.

Are you lowered or OEM?
I'm running 15mm spacers on Ap2 v2 wheels. I still have 215 up front and 245 rear tires.
I barely rub up front on very big dips.
I'm lowered about 1.5 inches.

20mm and 25mm spacers with 225 up front and 255 rear will rub.

i'd be interested to know this as well. also for stock car with no mods does adding spacers compromise the ride quality or integrity in any way?

15MM with integrated studs will be the best compromise with certain stock wheels, I have not felt a difference from OEM spacing but it does look better. Picture for your curiosity.

No - didn't roll fenders. Didn't want to do that.
Here are a couple vids for reference I found when I was loading it up to ship south to LHT... I couldn't find any good pics on this computer.
