Spacers: 30mm (F) 25mm (R) or that is just TOO much?? Stock 20's and springs.

When I was searching around the net for FX's with 20's and 25mm spacers. The fronts still were still not as flush as a I like and im not talking "hellaflush" crap. I was just looking for a clean setup where wheels and fenders meet. I feel the wheels sunk in and I know the front fenders stick out a bit more from the factory. So I guessed the 30mm fronts would compensate.
What do y'all think??


Stock springs"for the meantime: and stock 20's wit 265/50
 
I had 25 mm in the rear and 30 mm up front and everything was flush. I was on coilovers as well so I had to roll the rear fenders but other than that no problems with rubbing.

I used to have 25 mm all around on my FX35 with 22 x 10.5 ET40. I can see the front can take 30 mm easy, but the rear poke a little. May be 2 or 3 mm poke. I change the rear to 20 mm, but was a little tucked. Don't forget the tire profile will also play a role too. Some tire bulge more than other.

I currently have 25 mm all around (stock spring, stock 20inch, 265/50) and no issues at all.
I'm thinking of switching to 30mm all around.. would it rub in the rear with the stock setup?

Also in the near future gonna be getting H&R springs and 275/45 tires on the stock 20's. would I have any rubbing issues with 30mm spacers with this new setup?

Stock spring will not rub, unless your heavy loaded. There just way too much wheel gap and have to a VERY heavy load in order to compress the 3" wheel gap to cause it to rub. Since you plan on having H&R in the near future, 25 mm will rub and shed the the rear tires too. You definitely need to roll the rear fender to prevent the shedding. 30 mm spacer on H&R will rub.
 
You could probably have the wheel stick out 3" at stock height and not rub. If you get 275/45/20's, that's slightly smaller diameter than stock so even w/ lowering springs, you'd probably be fine at 30mm.

Do you think with stock spring and 275 tire, 35mm all around would be pushing it too far?

Oh and will I have enough of the existing studs length to cover 30mm or even 35mm spacers (DRM)?
I know there was still a bit of room left when 25mm were installed but not sure if it can take up to 35mm on the original studs

it says 32mm spacer for the above picture.. sticks out quite a bit.. looks like 35 would be too much lol
I guess I will go with 30 at the max
