Question Advice on rear spacers for 270M wheels.

Hello all.
Just installed my 270M style wheels, but the rears are WAY too tucked in for my liking. Would like to get spacers and was thinking 20mm spacers, but wasnt sure if it was too much/little. Would like them to go out as far as possible without rubbing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

This is what the wheels look like(not my car, but same color).


Thanks in advance!
Mike

try that calculator.

OEM 219s are:
18x8.5 et29
18x9.5 et23

Most people run 15/12 spacers with the 219s to make them flush. The final et with 15/12 spacers is:

18x8.5 et14
18x9.5 et17

That being said you have the information you need to use the calculator I linked you to.

I run 18/15 on stock 219M. On my winter setup which is 18x8 squared, I use my 18MM spacer on the rear and 15MM front.
