Default Bbs rs-gt wheels with project kics spacers

So I decided to get spacers cause of my sunk wheels. My original plan was to get the wheels rebarreled with bigger lips but the cost was $350 a wheel.

Im thinking of going 20mm front and 15mm rear

Wheel specs are

19x8.5 front +45
19x9.5 rear +45

Right now I'm lowered on Megan lp coils with no finger gap

What do you guys think?

I'm thinking u might be more flush in the rear than the front but maybe others will chime in.

The rear is a bit flusher than the front at the moment without spacers.

19x8.5 +45 w/ 20mm spacer = 19x8.5 +25
19x9.5 +45 w/ 15mm spacer = 19x9.5 +30

given that these wheels will clear the front brake calipers...

1. you're going to need fender work
2. you're going to need to run one-size-narrower tires, front and rear

I rather have them rebarrel than spacer. Adding an inch to each will give it more lip and better look. Shop around and you can get them at $250 a piece shipped. With the barrel redone your new setup will be 19x9.5+32 and 19x10.5+32. Just the thought if you have the cash.
