What size spacers one the rear

Ok just got a set of rims 9.5 wide all around and et30 all around but I was thinking the rear needs a little more width so what would be a good spacer size to add on.

9.5" wide with 30 offset should be pretty close to the edge, unless you are running under minimum sized tires or you got aftermarket flares/fenders
either way, provide more information if you want more feed back

Ok well no arch work I have coilovers which il adjust to suit and there is no tyres yet as I'm waiting until I figure out the spacer situation so I can get the best tyre size.

A rolled rear lip will make a good 10mm different in how far out you can go. It you are trying to go really flush with normal camber and roller lip you could go with a 10 or 15mm spacer. Not rolled I'd leave it as is or just a 5mm shim. Your tire will also matter a bit as section widths can vary by over an inch for a given size.

9.5 +30 is going to be a bit wide out front unless stretched or rolled/pulled or high camber.
