Yes, 20 mm spacers are what you want for stock rims. Just got mine done I'll be posting a review soon as I get pics.

I'm running eibach drop with 15mm all around with 245/40 front and 275/35 rear tires. The rear sit's pretty close to perfect flush, maybe 1-3mm off, but who's counting. The front are set in a little because of the smaller tire, they are about 5-8mm in from the fender. If you're looking for flush on stock tires, ie 245's all around, get the 20mm spacers after the drop and you'll be sitting pretty.

how is FLUSH when the rim itself is literally outside the fender an inch? Flush is even w/ the fender up and down, not poking.

The FRONTS do look flush though!!

The most stupid thing to me is the way the tires look like they are too narrow for the wheels. Having a gap between the tire's sidewall and the wheel's lip is mondo retarded looking.

I approve this message.

245mm width tires on 10" wide rims is comical. Why not try putting bicycle tires on those rims? hahaha

I thought the point of wide rims was to put wider tires to improve traction/grip for better handling and acceleration.

I guess I am a believer of FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION, no fake hood and fender vents. A vehicle notorious for fake vents is the Ford Mustang.

Me too. I just put Eibachs and OEM G37 Coupe 19's on my sedan this week.

The rears, with stock 245's and no spacers, are about as "flush" as I would want. They are about perfectly even with the fender.

The fronts need a 15mm spacer. The car looks a bit awkward now because you can tell that the fronts are tucked in and the rears are not. Then again, maybe only I notice it and the average person doesn't.
