Hi Ben,

I have a '19 G05 (40i) with 21" stock OEM 741M wheels.
21x9.5, 275/40 R21 front and 21x10.0, 315/35 R21 rear. Tire specs are correct, but not 100% sure of rim width at the rear (may be 10.5 instead of 10 as stated in the ordering guide, but not fully sure).

I want to go for a seat of spacers that keeps the front flush with the front flares, but I like the rear to stick out a bit more aggressively. I really love the look of the F15s with the rear 20" tires (315/35/R20) sticking out quite a bit !


Most of the pics in this thread seems to be on 22" 742M wheels, which seem to have the same front rim width (9.5"), but has a 0.5" (12.7mm) wider rear rim width. So to get the same end effect on my 21" rims, I am thinking if I need to go wider than 20mm spacer on the rear? Would a 25mm or even a 30mm spacer at the spacer be OK or too ridiculous (!!) or cause any issues ? [I don't expect any since rolling diameter is unchanged and also I don't have IAS/rear steering)] Neither the 25mm nor the 30mm are in stock at your website, so can you please advise on lead-times?

Also is the recommended installation any different for the 30mm option than the 20mm ? I read something on this, but forgot to save the link.

anyway, would like a quote please for two options both with extended lugs:
Option 1:
12mm Front, 20mm Rear

Option 2:
12mm Front, 30mm (!) Rear; aka the crazy option.
Here, I am trying to account for the 12.7mm rim width delta as explained above!

I have PPF on the side skirts and rear bumper, rear wheel arches, so I am comfortable with the rear sticking out more, but not fully comfortable with the front sticking out too much and kicking up chips on the lower part of the side doors just above the side skirts. hence the choice to go with 12mm front rather than 15mm.

Thoughts?
