Spacers on stock suspension

Does anyone here run wheel spacers on stock suspension or does most everyone pair them up with aftermarket springs/coilovers?

You can run them on stock suspension just fine. Just most people get springs first. So that is why most people have them with springs.

But here is pic of stock suspension with the Sport Rays wheels. 15mm front and 20mm rear.

I've been running 20mm spacers front and back on the stock suspension. I need time to put my coilovers on...

Absolutely. 20/25mm on the sport suspension looks great.

if u use conservative setups it wont look bad at stock height.
the issue with the sport wheels is that it is narrow. the widest i would go is 15mm spacers.

if i was to do it again on my base with sport wheels, i would run stud replacement types for both front and rear, 15mm for front, 10mm for the rear for a clean look.

anything wider you need to run wider tires on the rear (285/35/19 or more) unless you want to look like a crab from the rear.

i opted for the nismo wheels and tire sizes. perfect for stock ride base.

Standard 275 rear and 245 front , with Michelin pilot super sport tyres. These have a more rounded shoulder than the Potenzas i used to have i guess its possible that some tyres might rub but the Michelins have plenty of clearance
