Square OEM Wheel spacers

I had 18f/15r spacers on the oem 19/20. Now I’m running square 20” 827s.

15mm had too much poke; tread was exposed like the 18mm rear. I’d like to only see sidewall.

The pictures I posted have 18mm rear and no spacer up front. I now have the 15s back on the rear. Im thinking somewhere between 8-12mm front.

What are you guys using?

15mm F/12mm R, seems to be the perfect combination with oem 826M or 827M wheels but for the double staggered set 19/20''. I have the HR sport springs.

Did you still have to shave a few fins in the wheel well?

Having rear 827M up front is exactly like having a 12mm spacer on the OEM 19” fronts.

Thanks for the input guys! I’m going to try to find a 5mm spacer for the front or swap to a 10mm in the rear so they match. The car looks funny right now; I’m sure on one else sees it, but I do lol

Square setup

I’m officially on a square set up with 295s on the rear as of right now. I have a 12 mil spacer in the front and a 10 in the rear. I may put the 10 upfront and nothing in the rear. Tell me what you think guys.

Looks great! Any rubbing in the front? Did you have to cut the fender walls?

Thank you! No rubbing at all. I cut the liners and modified them myself.
