Should I run a spacer?

What do you guys think? I think i would need fender work...

Nice setup. What size wheels/tires? I would definitely push them out a little if I could. Problem is it's difficult to know how much is too much, until it's *too much*. And then you're stuck with spacers you can't return. Wouldn't it be awesome if they made spacers in 1-3mm stackable configurations?

You could probably run a 10mm in the back but roll your fenders. The best way is to measure from the tire to the inner fender. They will give you a better idea on size.

It looks like you have some room for a 10 or 12mm spacer.

5mm spacer IMO, since the wheels have the effect of coming out more than the tire does.

Right, I wasn't very clear, I was looking for opinions on the look.

5mm is about perfect and not require any body work.
