i was wondering if anyone put spacers just inthe front to clear the brakes and none in the back. i was thinking about 3-5mm in the front and no spacers in the back. do you think i can pull it off without any problems? has anyone done this?

yes it can be done without any problems. normally people don't want the front to appear wider than the rear, so they either add matching spacers to the rear or go wider in the rear to acheive a more aggressive look.

would 15mm on the rear wheels cause the tire to rub when hitting bumps if the car is lowered on a coil over setup?

I'm running 5mm spacers on the front in order for my LM's to clear my Brembo GT kit. No spacer on the back however I'm running 9.5's so no visual difference at all. Stock you may notice a 5mm on the front vs. nothing in back.

yeah that's exactly what i want, i'm either looking into geting the 18 inch bbs lm reps or the rs4 reps. witht he rs4 reps i'd probly run no spacer in the front and a 10mm spacer in the back. but with the lm reps i just want the front to clear.
