Spacers question

Hi gents.

I recently purchased two pairs of spacers. EAS
I took 12mm for the front and 18mm for the rear.

My car has the stock suspension and has the 295 rears.
Will this push the rim out to much? The car on burger motorsport website is running 10/15mm respectively and I wanted mine to a little more aggressive than the one in the pic on the website

Let me know what you think

I went with 12mm all around and am happy with the the look. Stock suspension and tire width. In my opinion, they look just right, but this is subjective. You may get some poke with the 18mm.

I have 12mm front 10mm rear.

I think 18mm rear might be too much.

If you get spacers you should get an appropriate drop to get the right stance.

i would go 12mm front and 10mm rear. The 18mm rear might be too aggressive.

Check out this link that shows what it looks like with those spacers on the F10.

Let me know if you need any help on sizing.

Majority of my customers run the 12mm front and 10mm rear if they remain on the stock wheels and tires. A few of the aftermarket wheel companies are making perfect wheel fitment to do away with the spacers.

No spacers here, all wheel fitment. Just have to find the right wheels and offset

I also have 12f/10r setup. Once I put on the rear 305 p-zeros, will take out the rear spacers. 18mm might look a but much especially since the 295 rear tires do not look too wide when looking at the car from the rear. The proportions are just okay but if you push them out too much, they might look a bit civic-y. The same stock rear 295 p-zeros look pretty wide on my friend's panamera gts just coz of the way that car looks from behind. Maybe go with either 12f/10r or 12mm all around with stock rims and tires.
