Seems like this would be the best choice. Can't wait to get a chance to install both and see!

So the answer is 20mm guys!!! Definitely the most flush you can get with stock suspension.. 25 is a bit past the fender. Pics to follow!!

Looks perfect.

What size rear tires?
Do you know the size of your wheels including offset?
Do those spacers need to be bolted to the hub and then the wheel bolted to the spacer?

Oh, those house numbers look way too high for Lauderdale...I used to live in Sunrise but would tell people over here Ft. Lauderdale so I wouldn't have to explain where it was.

^Hey thanks, the rears are 275/35/18 and front are 245/40/18 with 10mm spacer. I don't know the actual offset but it's the 124 style wheels. The spacers don't need to be bolted there the h&r 20mm. And exactly on the location lol

Update: On SOME large dips in the road I get a slight rub but I drove max capacity the other day during normal conditions and NO rubbing. This is with stock sport suspension.

I might stick with 15mm then, I don't want to have to deal with fender rolling if the 20mm rubs.

Rub on the front or the rear? Rubbing on the rear is rare, though the front is common.
