Do you need alignment after you install spacers? 20mm all around?

NO. Only when you lower the car are you messing with the alignment.

can anyone verify the spare tire will work on either end of the car with 20mm front and 25mm rears?

I'm installing some new shoes and the rears are 19x10.5 +25 with 305/35-19 Pilot Sport. I'm debating adding either a 10mm or 15mm spacer. My question is this; if I install the 10mm and decide I need the extra 5mm, could I just "add" a 5mm spacer or do I (should I) just replace with a 15mm?

Word of advice go with 20s or 25s. 305s are already a lil wide so they will poke out, but 15s are still gonna have a lil sunken look. Unless you arent going for the full flush? Also are you lowered? If so the larger spacers look better on them. Im running 20s and 25s on19s and they are perfect with 255-305 hankook V12s

I'm lowered on TEIN S-Techs. I have 25mm now with stock Rays. I put the new shoes on and it stuck way out. I pulled the 25s off and I purchased some 10mm nylon spacers at the hardware store to experiment, and it pokes a bit. I'm also running a -1.2 camber.

I noticed your on stock Rays, so 20-25 would be perfect. That's what I had. But my offset is different (+25 vs.+30 on the Rays) and my rims are 10.5 vs. 10.

I'll post a pic tomorrow....

I ran the numbers and I'm picking up a set of H&R 10mm on the way home from work.....

I measured what a 15mm would look like and it looked like too much poke.

Will I need to change the configuration of the weights on my wheels if I add spacers? I ask because after getting my wheels powder coated the added weights to balance the wheel.

I dont think there are any issues with using spare tire on spacers
