Question Right size spacers to go with?

I'm considering adding spacers but not sure what size to go with considering my drop. based on measurements I just made it looks like I would need about an 8mm front and 15mm rear to sit just about flush with the oem 19's. Sound about right? Some have suggested 20mm front & 25mm rear but that seems like too much considering I still want to tuck tire. I'm having my quarter panel lips rolled next week. thanks guys

From what I read here Eibachs and OEM 19's 25mm for front and 30 for rear.

I have 20 in the front and 25 in the rear and here's a pic of what it looks like. I love it personally, but depends on the look you're going for.

thanks for the pics daniel! would it be possible for you to take 1 pic of the front & 1 pic of the rear like looking down the fender to show how flush they sit? I'd really appreciate it if you dont mind

wow that was fast! I really appreciate it bro

they look perfect to me but damn I wish I could see this in person. I was measuring from the outer wheel edge and thats where I got the original idea of 8mm & 15mm from. Where should I be measuring from if I want to visualize how 20mm & 25mm will sit on my car?

honestly I got the recommendation from GTMassive so I can't take credit, he has 20 front and back and said to go a little wider in the back and it was definitely good advice. has a real nice bulldog look from the front and rear now that I love. it's very slightly tucked under the fender which I like, I didn't want it perfectly flush just close. I'll see if I can take a quick video walk around of it for you tomorrow so you can see

Ghozt, I have to say that your max is nasty. I want the spacers now for sure. I do feel like your drop looks lower than mine. I am thinking it could be that the spacers make it look lower. your max is dope. feelin the ride out here in STL mang
