Spacer widths...recommendations?

Looking to add some spacers front and rear to fill up those wheel wells. Keeping the stock twists. My initial thought after measurement was 15mm. Anybody do anything different?

I have 13mm in front and 21mm in rear. I run OEM twist as well.

I'm not sure what you're asking. You can go out to 15mm on the front but I found some 13mms for a steal and went w/ them, 21mm is he max on the rear.

The wheels are right out on the corners but they aren't past the fender. That being said, the rears are out a little further then the fronts because of the wide rear end.

Yes mine are flush. Like I said, 21mm w/ OEM wheels are the max in the rear. 15mm are the max in the front.
Anything bigger pushes the wheels out past the fender, anything less leaves them tucked under.

Do you have to roll the fenders if lowered and run spacers?

Kevganzon is infamous around these parts
I've seen guys run 15mm front/ 18mm rear lowered with no rubbing. I dont know about 21mm in the rear. I like the way it looks though
