Or just 10mm front and rear.

10mm not enough for the rear. 15 will be close. 20mm fit great. I have the 20mm bolt on spacers that I used for about 30 miles(before I got a new rear end that was pre-widened). You can have them for $40 shipped. 10mm in the front would work, mine are just enough to get the wheel over the hub--1/8inch (3mm). 10mm might let the center cap fit over the grease cap though! Either way, longer lug nuts are in order all around.

If I had to do it over again with these wheels +25 in front, +0 in back, nice tucked in look in the back.
Interesting because +12 seems to be the magic number for the other 15x7 wheels out there. Hmmm.

Cars do vary......10 mm spacer should be enough for the rear to clear the springs and would have better fender clearance with a +25 mm wheel.

I think I'll start with the +25s and go with a 10mm spacer front and 15mm rear. From there I'll adjust as necessary.

They're the wheels I want...little bit of old and new with a good price. Plus I have an account with Enkei so that helps. It'll still be a few months unless someone surprises me with a Christmas gift.

Depends on the tire some also, having 10 mm and 15 mm spaces will give you a choice.

You can start the process by adding longer studs NOW.
