Need advice on wheel info ......

I’m looking for a cost effective method of get a flush fitment with my wheel setup. My current setup is Oz ultralaggera 17x8 +48 wrapped in Michelin pilot super sport 235/45 r17 I am lowered on Eibach springs with a 1.25 drop, I have 25mm spacers in the rear with a few degrees of camber. My front is where I am undecided on what route to go. I’ve explored using a 25mm spacer but with the current tires setup it pokes a little too much in the front, I was considering getting some camber bolts but was curious if that would even work well with the setup. Another option I have tried was a 20mm spacer, this didn’t work out well for me, my rims do not have the inner pockets to support spacers of that size. I even considered cutting down the stock studs to see about getting the rim to sit flush with the adapter but I’m hesitant because what if the lugs that come with the adapter poke out after I trim the stud then I have to replace the studs I cut. One other option I have yet to try is extended arp studs with a 10mm or 15mm spacer. I do plan on getting coilovers in the near future so if I can get any feed back on what would be a good option for the setup that would be greatly appreciated.

If you want to keep the wheels, run extended studs with the spacers of your choice.

Wait till you get your coilovers, then set "sensible" camber, test and adjust your camber, then look at what is required to get "the look" you want.

Otherwise you will only beed to change stuff later.

Always focus on function first.

Otherwise your just another Joe who wrecks the cars handling for the sake of what kids think look cool.
