I tried 12mm spacers on my stock zhp wheels with 255/35/18 Dunlop Star Specs on stock suspension and it rubbed. I now have a 235/225 front/rear stagger on my stock wheels and I'm going to try 15mm spacers for both the front and back. I'll report back.

PMd thanks!

I guess I will have to wait until I make the jump to coilovers to check on spacing and such. I would like to try out a 265 in the rear but fear it might rub, especially in the future with coilovers.

Every time you widen the tire you obviously decrease the size of spacer you can use. I'd estimate you couldn't use more than a 5-8mm spacer maximum without rubbing on a 265, seeing as with my 255s 12mm rubbed.

Yeah, I do not plan on running spacers in the rear if I go with 265. I just thought it would give a tad better ride and a nice aggressive stance. I might try 5mm if the 265s work.
I hope to get some 5-8s in the front too.

If you go 225's in the front....you'll wanna go 15's or you won't even notice. This is my ride with 225's and 15's up front (before the drop though).

Like Dane said I'd do 15mm in the front with a 225.

^Unless you plan to drop....then your 15's will be sitting in your tool box like mine...

I was thinking about putting spacers on my sedan
I have just started my research and keep going back and forth on if I want to put 'em on or not..most say they're fine though don't suggest using them unless you need them for clearance issues in which case they're fine..?!
anyways..I just want a bit more of an aggressive stance is all I'm after..I don't want to go the coil-over route yet as I'm very satisfied with the look/ride height of the OEM ZHP suspension.
I was considering 10mm in the rear and 5mm in the front..I don't want to roll the fenders or have any rubbing issues
