It is likely possible to just use a larger spacer however, especially if running a 245 width tire.
The larger spacer will require additional camber unfortunately, to avoid any issues with rub occurring on the fender side. As mentioned in the article above, camber gained via M3 control arms will not help as you are only moving the bottom portion of the tire/wheel out rather than moving the top of the tire inward away from the fender. The camber gained via the Dinan plates is unfortunately no adequate to prevent fender rub. We recommend running -3 to -4 degrees of camber when used with a 12mm - 18mm spacer.
If you are looking to run this fitment, we strongly recommend adding adjustable camber plates as well as a coil-over kit with a slim profile.

Dam that's unfortunate thank you for answering!
I noticed you said this wouldn't be a limited production so I assume you guys would be listing this spec (17x9j et52) on your website for purchase.
So I'm wondering if it's possible to run a different wheel spec in the front while running the 17x9 et52 in the back. I know that wouldn't eliminate the availability to rotate the tires but I just want to know what wheels would you guys recommend for factory style suspension components now you guys have the new 17x9 et52.
(Hopefully still be able to have a square setup to combat the understeers)
