Default Anyone have 15mm spacers on the front

I searched but couldn't find photos of 15mm spacers on the front. After measuring it seems as though 15mm would be fine up front but i keep seeing everyone with around 5 to 7mm.

I've heard many people putting 15mm on fronts.
But you should let us know your existing front wheel /tire specs including wheel offset.

I had 15mm spacers on the front and on the back. It looks great and no rubbing. Go for it.

Here's a pic so you can see how it looks. Wheels sizes shown are:

8x19 ET 57
11x19 ET 67

EDIT: If you want, I have the 2 sets of 15mm spacers available with the extended bolts. One set is Adaptec and the other is H&R. Both are hubcentric. PM me if interested.

I already bought 2 sets of 15mm spacers from ECS

I'm happy to read that I made the right choice.

I've got 12mm TPI spacers front and rear, with the optional Carrera Sport 8.5x19 and 11.5x19 rims - the ones that are half an inch wider than stock.

Your camber alignment matters here. A lot of the photos you will see have a lowered car with negative camber on the higher side of the stock street setup. Or even setup with GT3 alignment specs. Generally more negative camber helps handling and tilts the wheels inwards. This lets you put a larger spacer on the car.

If you are on a stock suspension with stock alignment settings or if you have no idea what your alignment settings are, 15mm up front is about as high as you can go. As someone above said try it out and if it doesn't work for you move them to the rears where they will definitely fit. Or sell them in the marketplace for close to what you paid.

installed the ECS spacers on Saturday. Looks good at 15mm all around, even at stock height. Will be doing H&R springs at next oil change. I will post some pics this evening.
