Spacer suggestions for a flush look?
So, I am going to get some spacers... for that ultra flush VIP look. So what should I get?
Now, keep in mind, the front wheels are going to be gone, and I will put the same as the rear 18x9.5 with the same tire (it is currently an 8.5 with 235/40) So with this I am not sure if I will even need a spacer for the front, but im not sure.

Lemme help you out here...
Try to avoid certain terminologies/references which you may not exactly know too well because you may confuse yourself or others. But be specific of what you want.
"VIP" style(assuming your referring to the japanese vip) is not really emphasizing on being flush. vip style tends to focus more of slamming the car while Tucking the wheels behind the fenders.
"VIP" involves substantial tire stretching/negative camber and low offset wheels.
true "Flush" involves tire stretching and the correct wheel width, and or hubcentric spacers and/or adapters. that's not even considering ride height.
The easiest way to help you is for you to post a good picture of the car or a car that inspires the stance/fitment you want. and we'll take it from there.

I know what vip is. I know you are not trying to be rude, but this post is trying to passive aggressively call me a noob. What you just stated is exactly what I am trying to accomplish. and, part of VIP is not only being slammed and tucked, but, being flush with an aggressive fitment. And to get that fitment with these junk wheels I am going to need spacers, so that comes back to what I just said above. I need spacers to pull off an ultra flush look, and that is what I need help with.
Save up and do it right the first tiiiime

Dont get me wrong, I am not using all junk parts and trying to be VIP. The only low quality I have is the wheels, and they arent really THAT bad, just not what I am going for. Everything else is pretty much up to par.

uh my post count doesnt matter, and yes people do know me, ask windex, $c300,lexiss_sc430, angmedic91 they all know who I am. Just because I have a low post count here does not make me a noob. So you should recognize that. I am going to ignore your post. And don't tell me what to get, I am doing a vip sc300, deal with it. Thanks.

but out of curiosity, please excuse my noobishness, why would I put 20mm in front and 15mm in rear when all four wheels are 18x9.5 +35? I was always under the impression that you needed a wider spacer in the rear
edit: also, so if VIP is tucking, and not aggressive stance while still being low, does this mean that I should not put any spacer, roll the fenders and just lower until the fender hits the rim?
