Or maybe 5mm all the way around ?
I was leaning 5mm front and nothing back...but wondering if 3mm front and 5mm back.

I was initially going to buy 5mm spacers all around but decided to get the 5/3 combination since I was planning to get a larger tire.
I’m pretty sure you can run a 3mm spacer in the front and call it the day, at least with a 235/40. The poke in the front with a 5mm is minor and only noticeable in certain angles. I guess it becomes more relevant with a wider tire. I’m going to flip them and compare the “look”
In regards to an 18x8.5 rim, I’ve read some people rubbed in the back with a et38 and a 255/35 tire, and I’ve also read there’s no rubbing with a et40 and a 245/35 tire, so it seems like a rear 3mm spacer should be enough to give you a flush look while allowing you to run those wider tires. The 3mm and the et44 rim should place you at an et41, which should clear a 245/35 as Already shown by others, or the 255/35 (worse case you can take the spacer out from the rear if you choose the 255/35 route)
As of now, with a smaller 235/40 tire and a final et41 (rear), it’s close to flush with a 3mm but could use a lil larger spacer, this is the reason why I’ll flip to a rear 5mm.
