What size spacers (20 x 8.5)
As you all know I'm looking to compensate for my small wheel width by adding some spacers. My tires are 245/35 (I was told they were 255 when installed), and I'm wondering if I should go with 5mm spacers or something bigger? What are your experiences or thoughts...Are there any issues with AWD and different size spacers on the front and back?

15mm and 20mm you can get bolt on Ichiba Type II spacers. Hit up Nigel (vendor) and he will take good care of you. I personally like how the 20mm looks on the car but you make the call on what you want. 5mm in the front you should replace the studs with longer ones.

20mm in the back would be too much. if stock is 8+40 as you mentioned, and with 20mm spacers and you aer that close to the fender tab already, his 8.5+40 will be 6mm more outboard. that'd be disastrous. offsets and widths go hand in hand

^ Correct me if I am wrong I believe my OEM rims are 18x8.8 to be exact. I would have to go check. So if that is the case he is fine as it will be less then mine.
On the fronts IMO (again) I think it looks fine with out and the car will drive better with no spacer. Its preference. You can put 5mm and I am sure you could get away with 10mm if you wanted. Just said IMO thats all....
You can see the pics of my car, there is NO front spacer and a 20mm spacer on the rear.
