a 10mm spacer would work perfectly, as long as you have coilovers

You'll need a roll and camber up front to tuck 255's in, and less if you're using narrower tires.

rear will be fine, you'll probably need a 10mm spacer up front, maybe 5mm depending on the tire and suspension

in case you were wondering, this is what a 17x9 +20 with a 255/45 nitto 555 tire looks like up front with utterly stock suspension (at full droop as the car 'is' off the ground)



I can barely fit a finger between the wheel and the spring perch. Personally i'll be on the look out for 20-30mm widebody front fenders to clear without having to resort to massive camber to fit... I like not blowing $600 because 1/2 the tire is threadbare.
