Ok cool so I talked to ADM and they have the spacers I need. Gonna order them today. Should I stick with the Pirelli P-Zero's? They're expensive but seems weird to have 2 different sets of tires if I get something else.

How many miles on your Pirellis? The INVO is a better performance tire, and it might be worth replacing all four.

By the way, I'm running 20mm hubcentrics (rear stockers widened to 10.5" / 315 INVOs), and have plenty of clearance.

Only about 6k on the tires.

FYI, since moving the rear wheels and tires to the front, I have had some rubbing. I never felt it rub, so I'm guessing it happened while autocrossing.

If i put a spacer to put the wheels flush with the fenders will this eliminate the rubbing on the inside tho?

I'm thinking of adding a small spacer. It shouldn't be an issue unless you drive aggressively. I also have Pfadt lowering springs.

I was thinking of adding a spacer just so they sat super flush with the fender, how do they look up front without a spacer?

I don't know if this helps, but here are the front stockers (20x8 / 245s) moved out 20mm. Yotaman's pictures show the rear stockers (20x9 / 275s) up front with no spacers.

We're both running rear stockers (widened to 10.5 / 315s) on the back. I'm running mine with 20mm spacers. His are flush on the hub. The 20mm spacers bring all four corners to just about flush with the fenders on my setup, but his fronts are an inch wider and are more concave because of the slight difference in offset between the front and rear stockers.

Clear as mud, isn't it?

Has anyone actually run a 15mm spacer on the rear stockers? I keep searching around, and all I can find are 20mm and 25mm installs. Great thread, been reading since this thing started. Trying to figure out how much thread I'm going to lose and exactly where they sit.

I have the 15mm spacers, but haven't messed with installing them yet.

Well .....I talked with Vaughn today and I'm taking my rear rims in next week for the 10.5" conversion dealio. I have my SS lowered with a full Pfadt racing suspension set up, so I'm going to see how it looks without spacers first. If need be I will try the 15mm spacers first because I think the 20mm spacers might cause it to rub on the outside with it lowered.
We will see!?!?!?!?!
