Spacers for my 2013

So Im gonna keep my stock wheels and love the way they look. Right now I got 285’s out back and 255’s fronts. Im wondering do I

put 5mm spacers out back or 10. Don't want it to rub. I did just order H&R springs for fronts and links out back. What do you guys think?

I ran 8mm front and 10mm rear last winter with my stockers in my '14. No issues and my car is also lowered. I bet one can run 10mm F and 12mm R w/o problems (W/ stock wheel/tire combo). Just gotta make sure the 10mm you pick up actually work with your F hub (Unless you go with "Lug centric spacers" which I wouldn't advice.)

So you would suggest regular spacers and not hubcentric? I have 285’s outback is that stock or is 275’s stock. The tires are new maybe past owner went up from 275 to 285 not sure.

I just think when i lower it it might took in more and may want a spacer to make it look better. Im gonna powdercoat the wheels gloss black. I really love the look of the stock wheels wish they were black.

You should go with hub centric spacers. The hubs in the our cars are about 10mm. The front hub is slight larger than the rear (at least in my car with CCB’s). 10mm hubcentric spacer fit the rear just fine. For the front, if you wanna go with 10mm hubcentrics, you gotta go with these “special” ones that have these extra large hubs (some believe that you won’t be able to run your wheel center cap w/ said spacer installed). Or you can use a lugcentric spacer and likely have vibrations when you drive. For my car, a 8mm up front left barely any room on the hub for the wheel to sit on. I will go with a 5mm for the front this coming fall.
Your tire specs are stock.
