Default Spacers and tire size question on f sport rims and lowered suspension

####updated spacer specs, I have 25mm front and 38mm rear spacers###


Hello all, and yes I’ve searched but looking for couple specific things so thought I’d post here and hopefully get some answers. Recently got a 13 fsport and it’s lowered on bc coils (slammed actually lol) fsport 19” staggered rims, car has 25mm spacers front and 38mm rears. 225/40 front and 235/40 rear. I want to either swap the 235s from the back and put them on the front or upsize to 245/40s for the front and for the rear do 265/35s or 275/35s. My question is has anyone done 20mm spacers (and lowered suspension) and done 235s or 245/40s for the front and 265or 275/35s for the rear. I’ve seen thread where people have done these tire sizes, just didn’t find any threads with people with them AND 20mm spacers all around. If people have them could you please post pics and tell me how fitment is/rubbing etc and what you’re lowered on please.
many car has the gsf (style) fenders and side skirts so I’d like to stay w the spacers because the car already had the wide/flared look. Thanks for all help and info. Here are some pics of my baby

Kind of wanted to use the same rear tires I have now for the fronts (235/40s) or if I’m going to go wider still keep the same 40 series and go 245. Didn’t really want to go to 35 series for the front (too little sidewall) regarding your comment /more info….I made another thread about the car. I also posted a lot of Oem parts as well as aftermarket parts. I will be selling the gsf bumper when my new 2016+ bumper comes in!!

Interesting set up, I wonder how did you end up on 235/40 on rear as OEM is 265/35 if Im not mistaken. Rear rim is 9" with 65 offset which is super deep. How does the car handle when cornering and on Highway { given it has rear steering as well }
Im thinking to put 245/45 R18 all around with 45 offset rims that will compensate 65 offset on OEM rear's. We have ****ty roads where i live, Ive already ruined 3 out of 4 19" OEM staggered rims.
