Lightbulb Which spacers to buy for 18x8 +40 / 18x9 +42?

Asked this in my other thread buy didn't get anything, so here goes another shot.

Seems like both the front and rear wheels are a little too sunken in, and I want to buy spacers to get a nice flush fitment. Would 10mm spacers work out for front and rear with these sizes to make it flush? Or 15mm, 20mm?


Current sizes on my '93 R1 FD, Running on Koni Yellow Shocks with Eibach Springs, on lowest perches, and rolled front fenders:
18x8 Front - 225/40 18 +40
18x9 Rear - 245/45 18 +42

Which spacer sizes would be best for flush fitment?

For the front, a good 15-20mm spacer will give you a good fitment even if your alignment is still stock. For the rear, I also think 20mm is good without too much camber. Im currently on 9.5 +22 rear which is 25mm more aggressive but I am running a good amount of camber. I'm referencing this based on my previous setup and my current setup. Shameless plug but I do have 20mm spacers for sale.
