What Size spacers?
 
Hey, I have 22x9.5 wheels all around on my 4.4... fronts are fine, back seem wayyy to in espcially because i have the aero kit. What do you recommend as for spacers... 15mm or 20? (hubcentric)

tires are 285/35s if that helps for anything..

A 30mm spacer will give you the same offset as a 4.8is.

hmmm, well right now the tire sits 1" inch. That is from the top tip of the tire. I plan on lowering it too, so if it comes past the fender, wont that be an issue... I wonder if 20mm would do the trick?

Hmmm!Speak english!What do you mean" tyre sits 1" from top tip of the tyre?
If you know your wheel Offset(ET) I will be able to give exact mesurements!
No,wheel CANNOT exceed the fender!

Speaking of English.. its "tire" not "tyre", and measurement not mesurement, also sentence fragment. It should be "No wheel CAN exceed the fender" haha ;) I dont know what i meant by 1" inch from the top... Basically, its about 1.25" front the tire/rim to the fender. I think 20mm is going to do the trick. Wheel CAN exceed the fender if you wan to go that wide. Theres no CANTS, anything is possible depending on ones taste. Theres someone on this board running 30mm spacers and his tires seem to stick a lil past the fender if not right under it. :nanana:

Mine were 22x10 with 18 offset.(all 4)
These pics were before I put 30mm spacers in the rear.
After they were installed the rears matched the fronts perfectly.
If you buy H&R spacers all the bolts and lugs come with them.

The wheels were originally off a 745i.
Hope this helps.

(please no negative comments Powers1)
