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

    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

    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.
