    Anyone know if I get 5/8" spacers for the front and 1" for the back...will that affect/cause harm to my suby?

    those wheels have a pretty good offset. are you sure you wanna go that wide?

    Theoretically, the wear on the wheel bearings will be accelerated.

    You'll probably want extended studs, and it probably will look pretty good

    I was looking for a more aggressive stance...without breaking the bank on new wheels. They are +48...yeah?
    The front seems to stick out little more than the back...so that's why i was gonna try 5/8" front and 1" in the back

    Probably to clear his Brembos

    Yep that exactly the reason. The front brembos was the problem. I hear that any larger than 5mm you will need extended studs and then u move into danger with wheel bearing issues and possible the wheels falling off! lol

    yeah, you'll need extended studs and lugs above 5mm.
    Mismatching the spacers tends to be a no-no.
