I will be running 15x7.5 rims with 30mm offset. Will spacers help handling? I will also be adding -1.5 degrees camber up from and -3 in the back. I want my rims and tires to poke out a little.

This should be interesting post pics cos u gone need camber to make it work right and why spacers just go with 20 offset... Sounds like ur looking for stance look not so much how it handles.

I run the same setup. Are you putting on Konig Candy's? Thats the ones I have on my sig.
I have 205/50 tires with -2.8 camber up front and stock in the back. barely rubs the fenders, but it does. Just enough to take the letters off the sidewall.

15x7.5 30+ is pretty weak if you want to run flush.
I will be running 15x8 -13mm front and -0mm rear on 155/60R15.
The rear wheels sink in more than the fronts, so run more -mm offset spacers in rear.

Yes I am putting Konig Candys. How much are you lowered?

I was on 195/55 on that one. I will try and get some pictures today of my ride. I still haven't swapped out to my Daily Drivers yet so I can snap a couple pictures today

Which specific wheels will you be running?

That looks good. That is more the look I am going for. I currently have 195/60 that I will swap over until I need new tires. I was reading through your thread and I could not find anything about your suspension. How did you lower your car, and by how much?

I hope you meant 15x8 +13 in front.
I wouldn't recommend going with skinnier tires (155?!)
But if you prefer it then at least go 175 if you're aiming for a stretched appearance.

Yes, I meant +13.
Im running 175's now it's barley a stretch.
I run 245/35 on an 11" rear on my other car...that's a nice stretch. :)

Yeah, 175 isn't must of a stretch for 15x8 but you should also remember that you still want some tire to keep you planted to the road.
Skinny tires are fine but you'll have a fun time with your steering wheel on the freeway!
I didn't have 15x8+13 to compare but here is my old setup for a stretch reference.
Nice choice on SSRs! :)

Looks perfect. Thanks for posting those pics.
I'll be running 155/60R15 on mine.

Sorry wasn't able to get this uploaded yesterday.
205/50/15 on Konig Candy's wrapped BFGoodrich Rivals
As far as handling is concerned I wouldn't think having the tires farther out would do much. If anything I would say more unsprung weight = bad and worse handling. If it doesn't rub I wouldn't run spacers as far as performance is concerned
