Ok so im having my car dropped on Eibach pro kit springs next week

id like to push the wheels out a bit so they dont look so tucked once the car is lowered, i dont however want to do anything too aggressive where i risk rubbing or camber problems, etc. What size spacers front and back would people recommend ? thanks

You are going to get a lot of different opinions but I say 10mm in the front and 15mm in the rear or 15mm all the way around.

I think 10mm and 10mm then. 15mm in the rear might rub with 20s. 19s, not sure, might be ok, but 10mm should be safe.

20mm if you're on stock tires. 15mm if you upgraded to wider.

i run 15mm all around with 245/275 on eibachs and no issues.

What brands of spacers does everyone recommend? How much should they cost? Do they usually come with extended studs?

With 15mm, do you recommend the extended studs, or can you just use the stock studs and just have the spacers between the wheel and the rotor?

definitely cant do that with 15mm, takes about 3/4 of the stud distance. but ichiba v2 spacers would work really well.

Agreed! If you have stock tires, w0 has the perfect setup with Eibachs.
