That's probably the max amount of rubber you can fit without massaging the sheet metal.

I ordered some 23mm spacers for the rear, hopefully not too much. Would never think of running that big of a front tire & wheel. Did you need spacers for the front?

What is the common front spacers used by you guys? 7-10mm I'm guessing?

Won't be too much on the rear. 7-10mm IF you feel you need them. I wouldn't order them until you see how it looks with the rears. You may not want any for the front, I didn't.

Are spacers are dangerous ? I mean does it change something to the wheels attachment solidity ?

Buy quality spacers and you shouldn't have a problem. Some will say it may accelerate bearing wear.
