Thinking of going with wheel spacers, need a little help.
I sold my Volks , and I really don't feel like spending the money on another set of wheels, so I think I'm going to put spacers on the OEM's. I just don't know if I should go with 20mm or 15mm.
Right now my car is slammed, and I'm just worried about rubbing in the rear, My volks were 19x9.5 in the rear with 275's and the offset was 37. I really just want the wheels to sit flush, I don't want the wheels to rub. What spacers should I get

The appearance can vary more than most think depending on how much negative camber you are running and the size/type of tires. I have seen post of people running 10-25mm. Most seem to be running about 15. Personally, I would measure your actual setup to make sure you get the look you want.

The problem is that when you get your alignment, it depends on how much neg camber you have them leave in. And since you are on BC coils, it depends on how low you leave them set as to whether you need to tuck them in just a bit or if you can bring them flush. So I really think you have to set your coils where you want, get an alignment and then decide on how flush you want to bring the wheels out without rubbing. Once all aligned, adding a small spacer is not going to change your alignment enough to matter.
The bummer is that with 15mm - 25mm you can go with bolt on, but with 10mm or less it is stud replacement which is more work. I would stay away from Kics only because of what I read on the design regarding rings, potential of cutting studs, etc. Most on here are running Ichiba or Eibach with no reported problems that I have seen.

I think I will be going with the 15mm Ichiba version 2.
IMO the Kics look better, but I don't want to be the person to find out how they work with our cars. I know the Ichiba is good and no one has had an issue, so I will get them.
