Default spacer question

Whats the maximum size spacers you can put on the car without changing the studs and being safe?

wheel/tire specs Work Rezax II front 18x8 38+ 215/40/18 rear 18x9 38+ 235/40/18 planning on switching to 225/40/18 when it wears out

this is how my car sits now and kinda want it alittle more flush =)

sorry car is dirty from the rain/sprinkle on friday





Front



rear

5mm spacers. Once you go up to 10mm spacers, you better change the studs. I've read you need 7 full turns on the lug nut to be safe.

Run Ichiba. They are designed to keep you from extending your wheel studs.
