on stock suspension with stock wheels sizes? i run 12-mm spacers on the front with h&r sports and koni sa's so that i can fit a stock 17x8.5" wheel with 245-40-17 tire on it without rubbing the strut.

sorry for the dirty wheel...

Yeah, while I'm looking specifically for those with stock suspension, it's cool to see the aftermarket stuff too. Just wondering if alot of folks are using spacers to fill out the fenders a bit more.
I'm also curious what folks advise are the best spacers to use and why?
Thanks!

the only reason i'm using a spacer is so i can fit the wider wheel...

for anything over about 5-mm, be sure to use a hubcentric spacer to ensure proper alignment of the hub, spacer and wheel. mine are h&r and work reliably.

ill have pics in a few days when i finish my suspension..i went with 12 mm H&R hubcentric spacers that i ordered from turner..i need them to clear my suspension

you want to use hubcentric spacers to ensure safety and no vibration in the wheels..doesnt really matter what brand you use, they all do the same thing..but if you are putting a larger spacer, you may want hubextenders from turner
