Question 06 17" stockers w/spacers

I like the stock 17" wheels, but hate that they're in so deep. I wanna flush em out with spacers, and have decided on 15mm hubcentric w/extended studs up front. The rears seem to be sunken in deeper though. Any thoughts on doing 20mm hubcentrics w/extended studs in rear? Thanks.

definitely will need to go a bit bigger in the rear...with a 20mm you'll have to replace the studs, but if you go to a 25mm (like I did), the spacer actually has studs mounted already on it, just secure the spacer to the hub with the lugs and slap on the wheel and your good to go. If you go that route, the rear is 10x easier than the front.

well, I don't have stockies on, I'm running 18x7.5, so should be wider than stockies regardless (can't remember the dimensions of the stock rims). 10mm up front and 25mm in the rear. The rear fenders did need to be rolled (even with my old suspension setup, Tokico blues/Eibach springs) but looks sick.

If your unsure of which spacer to get for the rear, just take a ruler and measure from the face of the tire to the fender and convert those inches to mm to determine the correct spacer.
