Default Spacer Help

I have a set of 15x8 Sportmax 002 with a 0 offset. I was going to put a set of 205/50 on them with about a 1" drop. I have had people tell me that I will need spacers for this to work. But I am getting mixed advice. Any suggestions or positive answers. Also if I do need them what size 1/4"?

spacers? no. you don't need to kick those wheels out any more, that would just make more issues for you to deal with.....they'll fit. i would personally go with a 195/50.

now, if you want the front and back to be flush with each other, you should kick out the rear 10mm - 15mm

If I did a 195/50 with a 1.7 front drop and a 1.2 drop in the rear will I have problems?

Personally, I think those wheels, despite the rubbing, need a 2" drop to look finished.

You could always roll your fenders, that will help.

The front track is 1 inch wider than the rear so 1/2 inch rear spacers are in order.
