How wide of a spacer can i put on the front of my 99 lara without rubbing. The fender is not rolled or pushed out or anything and i have the eibach lowering springs so I dont think i can push em out there very far. Just thought maybe someone else might have tried it out already? Im sure I can go at least 15 mm on the back but its the front that concerns me. These are 18" rims. Thanks guys!

The fronts generally don't need to be pushed out unless they're really sunk in, which it doesn't look like they are in the pics.

Also, it helps if you give more info about your wheels, especially the offset and width.

^Like Oliver/ThatViet stated, width and offset specs would help too. My wheels are 18x8" ET+37 all around. I have 5mm spacers up front, 15mms out back, which about evens up the front and rear track (which is naturally wider up front by 20mm overall/10mm per front axle). Not the greatest pic by any means, but you get the idea:

I was just looking and I have the same specs with my rims, 18X8 with 37 offset so I like what you did with yours. I think ill do the same. Thanks!

Oops, almost forgot to mention, my front fenders/camber are unmolested, but my rears are rolled, and my rear camber dialed in to about -1.25 degrees (via SPC camber bolts) to avoid rubbing.

Yeah guys, I rub in the rear without a roll. I'm running 18X7.5
+36 with a 215/45/18 tire. You'll definitely need to roll 'em.
Also, the fronts don't rub, and I'm not running any spacers.
Trust me, I'm a technician.

Just ordered the Ichiba 15mm type 2 spacers for the back. Hopefully they work out!
