There are many many threads on this already. The most popular setup is 20mm spacers all around with some going with a 20mm front 25mm rear setup to push the rear wheels out a bit more.

I have a few picts in my album with 20/15 setup. I use eibach and Kics spacers, stock height. No rubbing no issue.

np, if you use 20 on the rears i suggest you remove the splash guards because it looks off-center from the back due to the narrow 10" wheels and 275 tires. if you get wider tires or 10.5" wheels it looks fine.

werd, huh?

no, i did 20mm eibach on front and 15mm kics on the rear.

the rear imho doesnt need much help, but the fronts do...
stock ET47/ET30, so with spacers it was ET27/ET15.

the reason why i went with the eibachs on the front was for the longer hubcentric lip vs wat kics offered.
