Wheel Spacers with Stock Vert FC wheels?

I was wondering if any body could provide pics of FCs with stock vert FC mesh wheels with wheel spacers? How much did you go? How much can I go front and rear with stock fenders? I really like the stock wheels but I think adding some hub centric wheel spacers would help with a more agressive look.

I can say that I've used a 3mm spacer for the fronts, but as I remember a friend telling me the max is 5mm and then you'll need extended studs. I'm running vert rims up on my fronts with 3mm spacers. Not sure how far you can go until you touch the fender wall, but my guess is that 5mm will do the trick. correct me if i'm wrong.

You need 25mm spacers minimum in order to avoid needing longer studs and get it more flush. If the vert wheel is a 15x6 or something then this should be just fine.

Do you know the exact OEM specs of your wheel?

What brand of spacers did you use? Any problems?
