Default Flush Spacerss?

Looking to drop my car on stance coilovers! Going to keep the sport package rays for now until I save enough for rims. Does anyone know what brand and size front and back will make my car look as flush as possible? pictures would be good to see!

25mm, all brands are the same as far as sizing goes.

I recommend 20mm front and rear. Project kics or HR spacers.

Let me throw in Ichiba spacers. I went 20mm front and 25mm back (18 inch stock wheels).

all of them should work. i will mention that i had like 1.5mm of clearance issue on the front using 20mm spacers as my stock stud was hitting the back disc area of the stock sport 19s.

i just grinded the back of the wheel with my dremel. no issue.
you can choose to do that or grind the stud instead since you wont be using the tip of the stock stud to hold the spacers anyway.

some folks commented they had no clearance issue so im thinking some production lot cars had a tad longer studs.

Clearance issue in the front as in rubbing? or what. Like how low were you running your car then? Cause im not looking to cause any problems, just looking to make it look nicer while in the meantime saving up for some 20s.

Did the 20mm Z1's fit the front? Assuming they're the bolt-ons and not the stud replacements.

I'm a big fan of H&R spacers. I've seen the hub rings broken off of other spacers, which is a PITA to deal with. 20mm front, 25mm rear gives the best look on stock wheels imo. We've got good pricing on the H&Rs and usually have them in stock.

I can confirm that 20mm H&R bolt-on spacers will work in the front with no fitment issues.
