I want to bring my rear ACR wheels out to the body line a bit more so what MM would you guys recommend? Im not lowered or anything and don't plan to and I do like the more aggressive rear stance look more then the factory tucked stance.

Not sure what size would work best but this is where to get them from!

when I did the big brake kit, the wheel needed a min 3/8 spacer for the rear to get clearance between the caliper and the wheels. I used the 3/8 spacers up front. I opted for 5/16 spacers for the rear from IPSCO, and it looks great with tire/fender flushed. The longer wheel lugs are also from IPSCO.

What size spacers would be recommended if the car was lowered? So are 5/16 rear and 3/8 front the sizes used to get the wheels flush? Thanks!

Pretty close, looking at it from the rear. Anything you want getting the wheels out more would require to use spacers with studs for proper mounting. The extended lugs give enough thread length for up to 5/16 spacers. I use my car on the track occasionally and checking wheel nuts torque with no loosening. The wider stance didn't hurt either.

Nice! I didn’t see the lugs on IPSCO’s site but I’ll ask when I call

So why did you use a smaller spacer for the rear if your brakes required a minimum of 3/8"?

*Edit* lol I'm not thinking. It's bc the rears are different then front calipers haha

I must have developed dislexia, LOL. 5/16 goes on front , 3/8 on the rear. You could go 3/8 on the front as well . The front OEM wheel is not as thick as the rear, hence I used the thinner spacer there. The front tire is still not flushed with the fender with the 5/16 spacer.

Ok so you used the thinner spacer (5/16) up front and the thicker spacer (3/8) in the back with the lug extentions... correct?

Correct.
