2019 CX-9 Sig
Installed spacers in January. Thought I would contribute some to the forum. Here are few pics. 25mm front, 32mm rear.

Looks great! A slightly wider stance does wonders for the CX-9.
 
Really changes it up. This looks perfect but from some angles I'm thinking 20/25 might work better. I think I might give it a try in the summer, depending what I do with wheels.

Here is side by side stock vs spacer.

Just curious if you ended up trying a different spacer setup? I'm looking into spacers and wondering which size to go for. Did the 25mm fit without modifying the studs? Would 20mm work without modifying as well? Also where did you buy the spacers from?

Sorry for all the questions just trying to get as much info as possible. Thanks.
 
How much wet road slop gets thrown up on the sides? Do you think it'll throw winter road sand (here the "sand" is about the size of an olive pit) against the paint? Will the optional splashguards for the car do an adequate job?
 
Reviving very old thread...spacers were bought of Amazon UberTechnic brand. I never tried any different spacers 25/32 is perfect on stock wheels, 3.5 years in no issues at all (other then dealer telling me my wheel bearing will fail prematurely and void warranty which i knew).

I didn't notice that it throws any more rocks than typical, but it probably does. Since i moved last year, I often have to use dirt roads to get places, so my car is always filthy.
 
Installed 25MM all around. Fitment is perfect, went on without issues. Took one before picture from the back, makes a massive difference! Just need to clean up the car now...
Vehicle seems to corner slightly better with less roll. Not a massive difference to warrant as a performance upgrade. I did it purely for the looks!

How much wider wheel and tire can you run with this spacer setup?
 
At minimum I'd say add back the 25mm to the tire width :p

I used back stock wheels and tires, but I'm certain you can go wider..
