Who is running spacers on stock 20s?
If you are, could you please share your experience/learning from the research? What choice did you make & why? Thank you in advance for sharing.

I am not. There's already a ton of spray down the sides of my car from the tires on rainy days and if you move the wheels out 10-15mm then the factory clear bra behind the wheel won't cover the larger exposed area and you'll end up with rock chips. If you had your entire car wrapped with Xpel or similar then the latter wouldn't be much of an issue, but you'll still end up with dirt sprayed all over the sides of your car.

You bring up a valid point Jason. I was curious about such ramifications.

I have the new black optic 20" wheels and just installed 17.5mm on all corners. IMO, it looks PERFECT!! No issues with rocks as of yet (obviously very early) but I don't foresee many issues given the angulation behind the wheels with lots of panels facing either up or back. I'll try to post some pics when I get a chance.

Here ya go...
I put 17.5mm on all corners with the standard BO wheels and no issues and it came out just right. You could put 20's on if you wanted an even more planted look, but this was perfect for me. Next up, the 034 trans mount insert and waiting for a package from Eurocode (like many others out there). Cheers!
These pics also show the color on a cloudy day (and taken with a phone).

Looks good. I have the other stock 20's - but really want your stock 20's. Are they 20x9 or like mine, 20x8.5?
The exact same style wheel for the A7/S7 is 20x9.
No idea why they would mix it up....
