Default Stock 18s with spacers

So been searching and reading that most ppl on here with spacers on their OEM 18s are running F:15mm and R:20mm. Some say its the perfect look, while others say its not enough. Just wondering if anyone ran 20mm all around, if so, any pics would be appreciated. Thanks.

I am running 15/20 on g spyder 18's stock height and I think it looks great.... I guess its a matter of opinion on the looks. I don't think you will have any issues running 20 all the way around other than minor rubbing in the front on the inner fender liner.

Yea, I didn't think so either, I read the fronts with 15mm pokes out a bit, but from the pictures I've seen, they seem just right, not sure how much the fronts would poke out with 20mm.

I went with 15 and 20. If you look at how much they stick out from the factory, the fronts are out further than the rear. The 15mm and 20mm puts them about the same. I'm not sure if a 20mm would work on the front without rubbing. With the 15mm mine rubbed only on the rear of the fender well when turning. About 2 minutes with a heat gun solved this. Below is my thread with pictures.

I did 20mm front and 25 mm back and I have issues with small rub on the back when I hit a deep bump. It looks really insane good looking but 4 people in my car will be a full rub in any bump.
I am going to go 15m front and 20mm back this week. Just order a set of 15mm on ebay. Will be selling the 25mm I have.
On stock 18 rims and not lowered.
