KWV3 + Stock Wheels

Anybody here have this set up? I picked up some KWV3s this weekend and plan on using them with my stock wheels for a couple months and was just curious on what sized spacers I should get.

20mm (front) / 25mm (rear) is a good set up that i've been seeing when i searched but I've only been seeing that setup for the stock height.

Can anyone help me out? Thanks!

Why do you need spacers with coilovers? There's no clearance issues unless you are going for looks-only.

I wanted to make my stock wheels more flush but not rub.

You have stock wheels, there is no way you would rub!

I'm on RCE yellows, about a 20mm drop. I'm running 20mm front and 25mm rear and they look perfect. I don't have any pictures at a decent angle to show it but 20/25 is the right size.

Thanks for the input guys! Finally had time to do the install yesterday. I ended up picking up some H&R spacers and went with 20mm & 25mm. Here is how it turned out.



What do you guys think!!
