Slappy needs a lil help

Bolt on Wheel spacers. 93 s13.

Wheel sizes are 15x6.5 +17et Front 15x7 +17et Rear. Tires are 195/55/15. Front Camber -2.5° Rear Camber -2.0°

Im looking into spacers, but since the rears are .5" wider, should i get 2 different size pairs of spacers for the front and rear? Maybe a 20mm rear, and 25mm front? Just looking to bring the wheels out some more for a better look, and plus i bought modded spindles and was told i'm gonna need some space in the front.

Oh, and with ever size spacer you guys recommend, will i need to pull?

I dont have any decent still shots of my car, so hopefully you can get an idea of how the wheels sit in these pics...

the more camber you run.. the less flush the wheel will be if they are not super wide. you don't have that issue though. Your math on the spacer seem ok.. however are these wheels going to be the only ones you use? some wheels don't cooperate with hub-centric spacers so you will have to take them on and off for drifting etc.

I think they would bring you flush and all you would need to do is roll the inside lip on the fenders and quarter panels.

ps

You don't have to get wider/bigger spacers for the rear if you don't want to because there is more tire room in the wheel well in the rear than there is in the front (at least there is in my s14, so I assume it's the same for the s13). As far as what size to get, it's all up to you and how far out you want the wheel., 10mm you wouldn't need to roll the fenders at all, 15mm you might or might not have to, but 20mm you are going to have to roll them.

hattrick s13 and s14 have nothing in common in relation to width. s14s can except a much wider wheel with no modification.

but an addition to rolling,some camber can pull the top of the wheel in and clear the fenders. However im sure you can get your hands on a eastwood roller with no issue if you need one.
