Wheel spacers

Looking to install spacers on a 2015. Not looking for anything too aggressive just want to bridge the big gap between the tires and the flares.

Looking for suggestions on size. Is a squared approach better or staggering the spacers is preferred? Inputs appreciated

Thanks - found Limey Hooligan's post. 50mm might be a bit too much. Looks like 31mm is the consensus and avoid bottoming out the stock lugbolts

Don't go so wide that your tires spit road debris onto your car behind your fenders - the fender flares are there for more than just looks.

Haha right you are! I'm not quite there yet. Once I do the 31mm maybe after some time I may have the itch to go 50mm.

Meantime I'm still concerned about premature wear on the wheel bearings. Spacers on passenger cars are not a problem but bec of the heft of the G it can be.

Can you recommend a source for rear guards that will fit a 2019?
