Need advice on 87’s with 15mm or 20mm spacers…

Guys I have 20” 87’s, 9.5 with 255-front and 10.5 with 295-rear. Also I have aerokit and I feel like 10.5 and 9.5 not wide enough for aero.
Do you know any consequences of installing 15mm or 20mm spacers? I know that I will screw up offset but that are the issues with that? Does anyone have pictures 10.5/9.5 with spacers?

I thought you were supposed to put the 315s on the 10.5 rears and the 275 on the front esp. with style 87 rims

, i thought that too


but both ways, i have the 315s in the rear of my 4.8 with 30mm spacers and i love it, it gives it that much meaner look cuz the tires poke out so much..

i suggest going with 30mm spacers since u have smaller then 315 and u have an aero kit which is probably wider then a 4.8 kit

Yes aero is wider. You have DPEs 22" R16, 10” wide so 30mm is ok for you. That’s your offset?

I chose 255/50/20 and 295/45/20 to have higher sidewalls since roads are freaking terrible here in New England. Mine 295's rated from 9.5 to 11.5, so 10.5 is fine.
I think even in Russia we had better roads...
