Of course.
Check on my profile. I can't post my own link in discussion thread.

If you have the ability to minimize wheel gap (2 axle air susp).... I recommend 15mm front, and 20mm rear.

If not.... that much extra width makes the car look like a rollerskate at full height. If that's the case, go with 12/15mm spacers.

15/20mm spacers, set low, 21" wheels:

This sounds about right. I run 21”s with 12mm rear/ no front spacers and stance seems correct with my regular suspension.
Forum pics could be misleading since most are taken with the air suspension slammed to the ground

Hi, how did it change the ride quality? Any issues?

OP, do you have air suspension?

Since I don't have air suspension nor lowering springs, here's my take at stock height. I have 12F/15R and my fronts are pretty flush however my rears are not quite. I wish I went with 18mm spacers in the rear but an additional 3mm is probably not noticable enough to warrant the purchase of another set. I have the 22" 747M wheels FWIW, but the wheel widths and offsets are the same as the 21" wheels. So, I suggest 12F/15R or 12F/18R.
