Default Spacer solution needed

Been riding around on is300 17's since I picked up my sc a few months back. About to slap my coils on but i'm sure it'll look horrible with th is3's on lowered. Need some spacer suggestions till I get my wheel money together. Is3's are 17x7. Im thinking half inch in the rear and 1 inch up front maybe?

There's a way to measure the right spacer you need. Go to hrsprings.com.

You didn't apply yourself very much did you.

quick n dirty bro figure out the offsets.....
-60mm offset= tucked in
-0mm offset= poking out
-35mm offset= closer to flush but not quite....

these are examples by the way soooooo figure out your offsets and go from there... good luck

why waste your money on trying to make stock wheels look cool? **** it, tuck hard on stocks and save the cash you'd spend on spacers for real wheels

I'm not trying to make stockies look anything. Im saving up for wheels and i'm tired of stepping over this big box of coils sitting in my living room.
