10mm in the front and 15mm in the rear with the longer studs and hubcentric will be fine with no problems at all. Dont go more than that or use the bolt on spacers and you are good.

 

Will I have rubbing issues if I space out the wheels.. especially in the front?

 

Highly doubt it on stockers and Eibachs.

 

If you are going to change your tires, do so first and then see (measure) your new clearances before picking the size of your spacers. Actually make all your suspension changes first and then measure. There are a number people of the forum running stock tires, wider tires (mostly 245/275), drops, no-drops....all running spacers. They tend to just be less vocal on the forum apparently to stay out of the spacer or no-spacer debate.

 

just go wider tires - 245/40/19 and 275/35/19. then you can decide if you still want spacers. the MOST important part of your cars handling will always be tires. wider = more grip = better. this is mine on eibachs with those size tires:

 

I already have 16250 miles on my current tires.. tread looks like it can handle just a little more.. I don't want to go through the headache of wider and calculations to not mess with the speedometer.. besides.. i think your wheels are still tucked in and need to be spaced out a liiiittle more

 

woady, can you post some more pics of your car? I also have an athens that I'm considering powdercoating the wheels on and getting wider tires and wanted to see yours from different angles. Thanks.

 

never mind, I just saw your thread! Looks good!
