I'm running 8.5j up front and 9.5j at the rear and needed 15mm spacers for the front.

Ehhh why did u need spacers I'm running the same as you without spacers??

Are you on coil overs?

I phoned up 3sdm and they said that the 0.01 wheels would fit with no spacers but some people say I need them.

I'm also running 215/40/18 on 8.5J. I'm just surprised that you needed a 15mm spacer, 99% of the time a 5mm would do.

If I have 225/40/18 do you think I might need more than a 5mm spacer?
also could I use the same wheel bolts on a 5mm spacer?
