S-Lites with spacers?

I really like the S-lites on my MCS but I would like to push them out a bit.
Anyone know what width of spacer to use to widen the track but not rub
using 215/45-17 Kumhos? I've searched the forum but can't find the answer
to this question.
Thanks!

Aldos- I would go with a hubcentric 5mm spacer and new lug bolts.

That'll put you in the 45mm offset so you should be fine with your 215.
If you were running 205, i would get a 7 or 8mm.

Thanks Kenchan- That's exactly what I want to do. Trying to replicate the stance of your car

H & R 5mm work great.

Because I use the Brembo BBK I have to use 20mm spacers on the fronts with the S-Lites no rub what so ever, 10mm with R90s
