Default *PICS REQUEST* 20x8.5 40-40mm offset with 25mm spacer in rear

Hello CL,

I've got 20x8.5" 42mm offset Niche F-18's all the way around. I'm lowered with a DF210 kit and the front looks ok, but the rear is too sunken in and doesn't look very good.

Does anyone have any before and after pics of putting a spacer on a 20x8.5" rear wheel on there GS?

Here is my current stock setup...

I've found some info by searching "spacers 20x8.5"...

Pushinlex's thread is close to what I'm looking to achieve, but he isn't 100% sure what the offset was to start with...

I can't really speak to the specific fitment question but here's something to consider.

The front stance will probably not be well balanced with the rear if you put 25 mm spacers on the rear and nothing on the front. The back wheel will be way out there and the front will look sunken. Something like 25 mm in the rear and 15 mm in the front or 15 mm rear and 10 mm front would give the wheels a much more balanced look. I wouldn't go more than 10 mm in the rear if you don't want to do anything with the front.
