21mm will push beyond the fender. 15m is max. it's the 7mm front that isnt enough for a typical oem 8 inch front wheel

See my post above. I’m running 20mm all 4 corners and it sits flush with stock 4S lobsters.

Yes, my build sheet is attached. They are slightly tucked. I think 15mm would be great at all corners. Is there a market for the OEM 5mm spacer? Maybe I can mitigate the upgrade cost?

i would assume it would stick out beyond the fender re oem camber, based on the other posts on the forums re spacer data on the oem 8 inch front wheel 8x19+57

What is the best source for spacers? I assume they are easy enough to install. I have a torque wrench. What is the recommended Ft/lbs to tighten the wheels?

What size spacers are the ones who have the carrera sport wheels 11.5j with +67 offset (nb) and 305mm tires running? 10-12mm as per my measurements would be the max without tyre sticking past the fenders. 15mm if you have aggressive rear camber and a drop.

10mm rear, and 7mm fronts (i am assuming your Carrear sports are 8.5 +55 (or +56). search for username destro (red c2s) with the same setup as you. he is running 5F/10R and when i saw his car in person we both agreed he has more room in the front, i.e. 7mm front is fine. he is running oem spasm suspension clearance.
