+1 on this. I remember looking at a thread where someone used spacers on the BBS's. Im not positive on the offset for BBS but I think the Evo 8 Enkies are +38 (dont hold me to that). I was thinkn about spacers with my Evo 8 Enkies until I decide on a new rim/tire set up. If I do I will prolly look for 20mm spacers.

I have 25mm spacers on all 4 corners of my stock wheels for snow tires. Not really very flush.

5mm is just under a 1/4 inch. of course that would be fine on stock studs.
but 25 is nearly an inch. those have studs on the spacers rite.

Im curious about the 20mm and 15mm set up that you have. Does the front stick out more than the rear now because of the 5mm difference? I want it to look even in the front and rear so I was thinking that I had to do the same width spacers in the front and rear.

I chose this setup because alot of the stock wheel w/ spacer setups i saw on here had rubbing in the rear with anything larger than 15mm. I use tanabe lowering springs which lowers the front more than the rear, so I run a slightly more negative camber in front. the result was a more "sunk in" appearance in the front as compared to the rear. So I was hoping that the 20mm/15mm combo would create equal appearing offset in front and rear.

Overall, I really wanted to avoid rubbing in the rear...my last car rubbed in the rear and made driving a nightmare. you might be able to get away with 20mm on all 4, but i feel like i saw a car on here rubbing w/ 20mm on the rear...dont quote me on that though. Here's a couple threads I used to help me make my decision.

How much do these spacers affect the reliability of the setup? Wider is always better....buttt is it?

I just picked up some 15mm spacers for the rears today. I was told i needed to roll my fenders but after i put them on, there was no rubbing at all. I also have 20mm spacers up front with no rubbing whatsoever. I'm running Ichiba spacers and I'm on Tein S-techs.
