Mount them and see you jackass.

Or get wheels with better offsets.

If you’re running stock alignment, dropping the car will result in some negative camber. the lower you go the more negative camber you will have. If you want them flush you have to mount them and see how flush they sit then decide on spacer size. If you’re running adjustable multilink and coilovers or aftermarket knuckles you can adjust camber and run a larger or smaller spacer relative to how your suspension is set up.

Keep in mind if you go more then 3mm spacers, you’ll need longer wheel studs.

sell the wheels and buy some coils + multilink.

Save yourself the humility of riding in a stock body with sunken wheels, 4x4 ride height and lots and lots of body roll.

Go for 20mm spacers in the front and 25mm in the back.

I would HIGHLY suggest using bolt-on spacers since you’re using such large ones.

I’ve done 30mm spacers, tracked and daily’ed no problem.

no… but bolt on spacers ftw! i tracked on 25mm bolt on spacers and it was fine… also it’s easier to sell bolt on spacers after… oppose to slip on spacers with extended studs…
