Anyone just put spacer in rear only?

I am thinking to add 15mm spacer in rear on for my 20" 214 style. Does anyone just add spacer in rear only? Any issue in terma of driving or handling? Right now i see negative camber from rear of my 20" 315/35/20. Will i get more negative camber if i add spacer or should help make it flush?


Thanks.

You wont add any more negative camber by adding a spacer.

Where do you get your spacers from? are they plastic or aluminum?

Thinking to get it from jlevisteetwerks. H & R spacers which I heard is one of the best. Did you add spacer to your 20"? Front and rear? size?

I have 20mm on the rear for my winter tire set (10" width 214 wheels all around). Make sure you also buy longer lug bolts to accomodate the spacers. I bought mine from ECS tuning.

Do you guys have picture taken from rear. I like to see how much stick out in 20 and 25mm.

Here's a few photos of mine with 30mm spacers in the rear, stock in front.

I am going to put 20mm spacers in front soon, but am waiting on a backorder on the lug bolts.

Tires are 255/50/19 Pirelli Scorpion Snow and Ice (decent winter touring tires, but not nearly as good as certain blizzaks, which have a much softer tread compound)

No I have not added them yet. For those that are using spacers, is anyone switching from summer to winter set ups and back? Do you leave the spacers installed for both set ups?
