How big is 25mm? Doesn't it widen your stance about an inch? I also have air too. So i don't want it out to much cause my fenders aren't cut or rolled.

thanks anyways dejavu157. i'm going to try the spacers first and see how it fits without modifying the fenders first. i was just hoping someone with the same size rims and offsets would let me know what they are using.

rolling/cutting fenders is always a must....promise you... you won't regret it. Do it first before you might mess up your fenders.... like how i did.

I have 19x10+41 Rear and 15mm spacer its flushed and required fender trimming. looks like you need 20mm or 25mm.. either one requires roll/trim

Well Can I ask you experts? I have Tanabe nf210s on stock shocks and I have 265 30 20 in the rear with a 8.5 wheels. If i added a 25mm spacer, what am I gonna suffer and do i need to cut the fenders or roll them? Im looking at Ichiba 25mm for 135 shipped. Help me here. I can only fit a finger between the tire and the fender right now. thanks guys!
