Ono Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 I'm sure it's in here somewhere, but the search feature sucks in my opinion, or maybe it's me not following my rule of needing to be 10% smarter then the piece of equipment I'm using........ I have SHPs on the back, 7's on the front. I don't want to roll the fenders. Can someone tell me what size spacers I need get my wheels as flush as possible? Car will have D2's on this week if that means anything. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Dont Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Fitment is all preference but 20mm up front and 15 mm out back should fit without rubbing DEPENDING ON TIRE SIZE AND HOW LOW YOU ARE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuze Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 You can run about a 1" spacer, basically they are sold metric so that's a 20mm which is a little less than an inch, and that's it if you don't want to roll the fender lips. On the rear, you never really need to roll the whole lip, just the two points where the tire gets near, at like 10 and 2 o'clock.. It depends on how wide your rear tires are, whether or not you'll need to bend the fenders a little, but you can run a 245 with a 20mm spacer. Remember that you're basically making the rears -20 offset. Tip on rolling: Mark the two points where the tire touches (if it does), jack the car up a little and put a baseball bat at that point under the fender, and lower the car slowly to tweak the lip back. Done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RF600 Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 You can also go to the hardware store and get some 7/16 flat washers. They are approximately 2 mm thick. Put them them on your studs and see where your tire sits. Add or take away til you like where it is. Get enough to have them on 3 studs. You may not be able to put your lug nuts back on depending on how many washers are used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sounded a little scary until I realized you were describing how to measure how much spacing to use, not to run the car with washers and three lugnuts!

mig8788 Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 I spaced my wheels out to. I did the washers so I could mock it up to see how much spacing I wanted. It worked very well. Now I plan on making some spacers out of aluminium. My question is were is a good place to get new studs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
