I know that asking this question will irritate some.... so if this makes you that way simply look away.. Some gys have a good eye for this thing without getting too technical and requring wheel specs and all.

I feel that my fronts could use a 7-10mm push.. thoughts?? every time i look at it, i get more and more edgy about buying some spacers..

I agree, some 5-7mm would look good. What spacing is on the back, they look perfect.

I'm running 10mm f&r and it is perfect.

I think some 10's would look good.

We need the wheel width and offset in order to give you a valid recommendation (not what you wanted to hear, I know). Also, I'd look at spec's for the rears and fronts if you are thinking of adding any spacers.

Im looking to increase my tire size too but dont know what to do? I have Sport II Rims, Rear 18X10 and Front 18X9 I think. I have 7mm & 15mm spacers. My current tires are (240/40/18 Front & 265/35/18 Rear).

Whats the widest I can run front and rear?

Im running 7front and 15 back. Back is just about at the limit on being flush with fender on stock suspension. When Ill lower it with some coilovers, the top of the tire should toe in a little bit. Front still have some room to play with , maybe 10mm would be better, but you must take into consideration turning. If you lower the car some more, and your wheels are pushed out , while driving into corners the tire might catch your front fender and push the lip in or out, hence its always good to leave some extra room in front.
