Default Spacer advice please

My son just replaced the worn out tires on his '95 SC4 with Eagle GT's in stock size 225/55/16. He doesn't want to go bigger but he does want a more flush look, what size spacers would work best for him? Thanks.

you could get a 15mm bolt on spacer and be just fine, possibly more... I think no one is chiming in because you would just be better off to get new wheels than spend $100-$200 on bolt on spacers...

any spacer that would be thin enough to not need to be bolted on would also be too thin to make any real noticeable difference...

Thanks mitsu, I hear you on the wheels but he wants to stay with the stock wheels at least for now.

hi mitsu i have kinda same question. I have 20x8.5 with 38offset 255/35/20R tire. My question is what size spacer will i need to flush or close to the fender, even if i have to roll or shave the fender. Its for the rear tire only. Has anybody use v2 spacer or have any experice on them. I was thinking about 15mm or 20mm to much. I haven't lowered the car yet..and on the 15mm spacer will i need to get shorter bolt?

thank you for any help and sugestion..
