SPACERS - FRONT - YOUR OPINION
Guys,
I'm puting my rear 275/40/R20 to front (I got 2012 RS) - How big spacers I should look for to drive safely? Is it better to put them without spacers to front? Thanks for help! |

They will fit just as they are. Lot of us have the stock 20x9 square. I just added some 5mm spacers front and rear and it improved the look 10 fold, imo.
You can safely use up to 7mm in a "spacer", beyond that you'll need wheel adapters that bolt to your hub. All can be safely driven on if the proper items are purchased and properly installed.

Thanks! Any difference in driving? better? worst? with and without spacers? I only would put spacers to look cool since it's wide tire. Do I need to look any specific size of spacer to put rear as square? |

The 20x9 are a 40mm offset. The 20x8 are 35mm. If you run 20x9 square, the fronts will be tucked a little further in the fender well. So to compensate, many just put spacers on front....like you.....to push it out. Yes, the spacers push the wheels further out and it does look much better and cooler. Again, just beware of going to too much spacers without getting hubcentric/ wheelcentric adapters. I got mine at motorsport-tech.com. There is good info on the web page. Also search the forum for wheel spacer/wheel adapters....lotta good info here as well.

Spacers are nothing but trouble. Just get wheels with the right offset.
