Hey everyone,

So awhile back my friend gave me some Sportmax 009's for really cheap. They are 17x8 +35 and 17x9 +35. I was going to order some spacers soon (tonight or tomorrow) and I was wondering what size you guys think I should get. I was thinking probably 15mm for the rear, but I cant decide if I need 20mm or 15mm for the front. Oh, and I'll be running 215/45/17 in the front and 225/45/17 in the rear. Any thoughts would be great, thanks!

I Would Say 20mm All Around.

What The Price Difference?

Thanks guys, so the consensus is to run 20mm spacers effectively making my wheels 17x8 +15 in the front and 17x9 +15 in the rear? And this should fit nicely after a pull?

the rears should be nice and flush, the front should be close

I'd suggest going with the bolt on spacers. Less hassle than working with extended studs.
