Do I need wheel spacers?
When my car arrives I’m going to upgrade the rear tires to 295’s and the fronts to 285’s. That’s roughly .5” wider on each. Will I still need wheel spacers to be flush?

Just depends on how flush you want. The offsets are already pretty aggressive for stock. You will be adding 5mm to the outside by increasing tire size. Most people are going about 10-12mm for spacers. Just looking at my car, I really don't think it needs very much. I'm planning to go with larger tire sizes as well and likely holding off on spacers for now.

I did the same thing but I put two rims in front of the rear size, the track widened half a inch on each side, with the eibach springs and the 10mm spacers the rear wheels touch on the mudguards, so I took them off. The car is so perfect !!!

What do you mean, “I put two rims in front”? I’m confused, can you explain better? Thanks
