Exclamation Wheel Spacers *Help

I'm am looking into getting a good set of wheel spacers for my front and rear wheels on my 09 370. I just don't know enough to make the decision and my research doesn't seem to clarify anything for me.

I want a pair that brings the wheels a little farther out then flush with the fenders. I'm not lowered and have my stock 19" Rays so I'm looking for something to throw on these without having any rubbing issues.

Thanks in advance.

Personally, I use a 20mm/25mm setup with the stock Rays.

Isn't that close to flush?
• I like the "clean" look of that. But I figure if I'm gonna the spend money on them, I want them to be noticeable

That's about as aggressive as I've seen anyone get with spacers on the stock Rays. It looks very flush compared to stock. You're probably going to get some rubbing if you go any further out.

So would 25 all around be pushing it? I read in another forum that it looked pretty good but would you happen to know if there are any issues with that?
Otherwise you made the choice for me and I'll do 20/25 so thanks.

I have 20/20 and I'm lowered aggressively without any rubbing. I know a 25 will rub in my set up. Glad I have it this way. For me, it's perfect. Feel free to check my album.

But would you be able to pull off 20/25 if you weren't lowered? I'm trying to get the most "bang for my buck" on this one.

I suppose you could. Heck try 25 on the front too, that will be aggressive.
