    Best spacer combo of S5 won’t be lowered?

    I’m unsure if I will lower car but will have CR-15 and sway bar for sure to improve handling and steering feel.

    If I don’t lower car and get spacers what combo wouldn’t look too bad? I’m assuming less is more in this case?

    Hi,

    We need a bit more info. What wheels are you running and if they aren't OEM then we need width and offset before we can suggest spacer sizes.

    Also, what look are you going for? I assume you want to be flush with the outside of the fender but you what they say about making assumptions....

    Black optic 19s. Doesn’t have to necessarily look flush. Just want a better aesthetic. In my mind I was thinking the flush look is better if you have lowered the car

    I run 15 front and 20 rear with my winter setup on the OE Rotors. Not quite flush but darn close. Some guys run 20/25 but in that setup I think the fronts poke too much.

    There are several threads, with pics, that show these configurations. Sorry I don't have any pics on my winter setup that would show you the fitment.

    20/25 here. Stock rotors and height.

    For stock height, 12/15 is my preference if you only want that bit of aesthetic improvement.

    I went with 10/20. It boils down to personal taste. Buy a pair of 20’s and experiment with front and back, then decide if you want to go with more in front or rear.

    I wouldn't go with more than 15mm in the rear with the stock springs. That's enough to "fill out" the rear without looking goofy on stock springs.
