Bumping this thread back up...

Will 15mm spacers all around work with 225/255 tires without rubbing? My car is going to be lowered on Bilstein PSS9's soon and although I have stock tires I'm wondering if I can run these and still go wider on the tires in the future. I don't want to be running crazy camber or anything but I don't plan on completely slamming it either.

I found this topic and I think is very helpful for those running OEM Wheels wanting to get some spacers

Bringing this thread back to life.

Our wheel specs on AP2 v1's are 17x7.5 +55 and 17x8.5 +65 correct?

That being said, technically with a 15mm spacer up front and a 25mm spacer out back, this would equate to:

17x7.5 +40
17x8.5 +40

Am I wrong with this assumption?

I had 18x9 +43 out back with a 245 and did not rub at all lowered on Tein Stechs. Technically, at my height i should not rub with a 25mm spacer then right?

I'm pretty sure you are correct!! A little while ago I had 15mm spacers w/ ap2 v1's just on the rear. I loved the stance and it was much more stable. The rear did bite a little better around tight corners. Last week I bought two sets of 15mm spacers and have put them on the front and rear. Looks much more aggressive and handle better

You are right with the exception that the front is 7" wide. Personally, I would do the same size spacer all around. A wider wheel with the same offset will sit out further so I wouldn't necessarily have the goal be the same offset front/rear.
