Default know anything about Wheel Spacers

So i want to put wheel spacers on my car. nothing crazy and only of the rear wheel. Will this cause undue stress to my suspension and will i have to change anything else? i have general exclaim uhp 245/35/19 and just want a little more of an aggressive stance in the rear exventually plan on puttin a body kit on. I was thinking of maybe 12mm spacers. Any insights please

Putting wheel spacers only in the rear will increase your understeer eventually.
I already got 15mm waiting for the install. I still havent decided though if i want also 15mm in the front, or to go with 10mm.

post pics when u get ur install done i would like to get an idea of how it looks and what size to get. I just want to fill the gap in the rear wheel. In the front if my rims rub a little bit right now would putting a spacers uptop fix that rubbing cuase i just hate that noise!

I say it might increace the rubbing That depends a lot on your wheel's offset/ tire width
Yeah, i'll post the pics.

12mm spacers will sit flush with your rear fender since you got 245's. Otherwise I'd get 15's

15mm spacers would look really sick(at least on rear) IMO.

Post some pics when you do the install, I'd love to see it.

Yeah you'll need longer lug bolts. ECS tuning sells them if the spacers don't come with them already.
