Spacer sizing for Stock Sport Wheels

Just lowered my car on Tein SS-P. I put a 20mm spacer on the rear and want to do the same for the front. What size spacers are you guys putting on the front? I was thinking either 15mm or 20mm.

I've got 15mm spacers front and rear for my staggered duckfeet, dropped on RWD Swift Springs.

Since this is a winter-only thing for me, these are adapters, with built-in studs:



Here's what they look like on the car:

Look up. Apparently I was adding that as you were asking for it.

Hmm might need 20mm since I'm a little bit lower than you are. What camber are you running?

I have 15mm, but if I was doing it again, I'd probably get 16 or 17....20 might be too much.

Lowered on Swifts + Koni Yellows, I think my rear camber was -1.7*

Last time the car was aligned was 10 months ago, about a week or two after the springs were installed.

Camber: -1.3 and -1.5 front, -2.1 and -2.2 rear

You're dropped on AWD Swifts, with square 7.5" wide rims. Right?

The OP has the RWD Sport. So, apples & oranges.

You won't find any spacers between 15mm and 20mm without going custom, but you can buy a 2.5mm washer style spacer to slip on. It's hub and bolt centric and the lip will protrude past the spacer so it will still allow your wheels to have a hubcentric mate as well.

Correct. But I was giving my opinion, and I went custom 15, because I didn't want adapters made in China/Taiwan/etc, so I would have otherwise gotten custom 16-17

After viewing the pics, looks like 20mm would get it as flush as possible. 15 looks like it's sunk in a bit more than I like.

These below look like a decent price!

I have a set of the precision motorwerks black ones on my car. I'm actually running 15mm in the back and 25mm front on 19" coupe wheels. Precision Motorwerks seem to be of decent quality and decent price. I had 0 issues with mine.
