Default Spacer / Fitment question. Is this measurement accurate?

So along with my new NF210 springs, I bought 15mm and 20mm H&R spacers to help make the wheels nice and flush based on some other members rides. The issue i am thinking I will run into is that I run wider 245 and 275 tires on my stock F sport wheels which means I would in the theory be around 4 mm farther out vs stock already. Since I do not want to rub, I broke out my mm ruler to try and see what would work and based on this it seems that 5mm front and 15mm rear spacers would work nicely. Look about right?

I guess that means I need to sell my 20mm H&R spacers and order some 5mm ones and finally schedule to get these Springs installed.

after the spring install, the wheels will sit more inward. it took abut 2 weeks to fully settle on mine to the final ride height. you might be ok, but not 100% sure.

Thanks fsportjay.....Makes perfect sense. I may just do springs and THEN measure after she settles.

that would be a wise choice. don't forget about getting it aligned after you have your setup dialed in. I'm at 15k miles (2 years) on mine and it's wearing perfect w springs and the spacers.

Wow, that is great to hear! Now when are you going to need new tires so you can test fit 245 and 275 so I will know if I will rub with 15 and 20mm spacers
