Depends on your definition of flush, what size tire you are running, what you are lowered on, etc. Give us more details on your setup. I'm assuming you've already seen my thread about offset and spacers.

If you have the same setup as my old one (progress/KYB, 245/35/20 tires), I would recommend at least 15mm, possibly even 20mm. But it also depends on how flush your rear wheels are.

I don't think he's going for the "hellaflush" look. And just to clarify, I believe hero meant he's using 15mm spacers all around, it can be read different ways.

If you want it really flush, use a 20mm spacer. The only thing about the 20mm is that it MIGHT look more flush than your rears. How flush are your rears?
