Going down on Eibach's.....stock 18's

So my Eibach PK will be here soon...stoked! I'll be using the stock 18" S wheel/tire set-up for a while and want to incorporate spacers to flush it out better. What is the best spacer out there, hub centric, and what size should I use?<!-- google_ad_section_end --> 10mm, 15mm, 20mm....different on front and back or same all around? A little help?

I was wondering...

I was wondering the exact same thing, and used the search like a good boy.

Out of the dozens of threads I've been through this is the only one that comes close to answering my question, so,

BUMP.

I LIKE my stock wheels and tires, (iknowcrazyamirite?) but I just want them to be a little more "flush" with the fender.

From the measurements I took it looks like 10mm should be fine with no rubbing but are 10mm even safe? If 15mm all around fit without rubbing except over the deepest dips I'd be ok with that too, just want somebody to confirm.

THANKS!

Coming from a G37S with staggered wheels, mathmatically a 15mm spacer up front and 12mm in the back will duplicate the outside edge position of the stock Coupe 19's. if that's the look you like go 15/15. I've read that people go 20mm up front and 15mm in the back becuase of the way the front sit in a little further.

I haven't done the math on a non-S with non-staggered wheels but it shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

the 15/12 will position the outer face of the 18" G37S staggered wheels the same as if you had installed Coupe 19's.
