Read this.

Then get the TMS spacers instead of the Velocity Motorsport specifically because of the innovative Quick Release pockets for easy removal (better than a chamfered back edge).

Just about on the rears. I think 20mm would be flush, but I didn't want to take the chance on rubbing. The 15mm on the fronts are flush , but I get a slight rubbing noise on some speed bumps. I think I'm going to go with 12mm on them soon. I have the Velocity Motorcar Spacers.

I have 20mm on the rear ad they are flush. I also bought 15mm for the front and they rub. I took them off the same day! I would go with 10mm or even 8mm to be safe. I bought the H & R spacers and they are fine.

If you do 10mm, then they aren't hubcentric, & you may get vibration. Read the spacer size guide about most 10mm & less spacers....
