What size spacer should I Use?????
I currently run 20x8.5 w/ 225/35 front and 20x10 w/ 245/35 rear 40et all the way around, suspension sage rca's and tein ss coilvers now my question is what size spacers would get them flush....No mods to the front fender but I will be shaving the rear when I figure out the right size spacers....

you cant get flush in front really on GS without modding fenders. you'd want maybe 25mm up front and prob 20mm up back (this is considering you have SS and sage rcas so not so much camber)

I'd definatly do +25mm spacers all around, it will look the best.
Hubcentric 25mm spacers are the easiest to install because your factory lugs don't protrude out of the spacer like they do on smaller 15mm-20mm spacers shown in the picture below...
If you try to use a 15mm or 20mm spacer the OEM studs must be shortened so that your wheels can sit flush against the spacers, UNLESS your wheel has gaps for these OEM lugs to go into.
*edit* I'm running a +20 offset up front on a 8.5" wide wheel with a 225/35/20 tire and plan to get a 10mm spacer to flush it, but if I do this I'll have to do some fender work up front. As of right now the 20mm offset is fine and doesn't rub at all with the 225/35 setup on the unmodified fender.
For the rear I've got a +30mm offset on a 10" wide wheel with a 255/35/20 tire and I plan to get a 25mm spacer, my rear fenders are shaved flush so I should have a nice Poke N' Tuck setup.
+5 front / +5 rear is what I'll end up with , that is if I decide to keep my wheels.
