i could put the tire on but it rubs bad just on the spring, do you think a 10mm spacer is to big than i have to worry about rubbing the fender ?

[fueled by hate]

no 10mm should be fine. I'm running a 18x9.5 15 offset in the front and I test fitted a 5mm spacer and had no rubbing issues. Plan to put them on permanently when my longer studs come in. My car isn't slammed though

[Mysr20de]

thanks man , im going to go with the 10mm see how it goes the only thing is my car is low may need to rais it a bit but i like the way 18in rims look when there toucked in a lil bit

[rob22]

if your running coilovers in the front with aftermarket wheels the offset of 20 or lower is where you want to be.
your wheels are +35
you would need a 15mm spacer to be safe
that would make your offset +20 and your good to go.
rears doesnt matter.
i had xxr 522 17x9+25 and i rubbed on my coilover.
hope this helped

yea I can't go lower in the front without a spacer or the inside lip on my wheel will hit the coilover. Just throw some 60mm studs on and get some 10mm spacers.

[fueled by hate]

better yet, get the pbm adjustable spacer kit and you'll be covered. If I could go back in time I would have ordered those.

Im running 18x9.5 +35 on the front with a 225/40 tire....My rim was rubbing...so I put a 15mm spacer on the front and no problem.....

Now here is the safety factor....I could only get 3 turns on the lugs (unsafe) So I could not find any extended studs (it was sunday). I did find some lugs called Acorn lug nuts....they are tapered and extend into the rim...So I get 8 full turns (Safe).

There is a distributor in Riverside...but i got mine from a wheel shop in San bernardino

You can see them on ebay....look for Gorilla Lugs....

how low is you ride and did you have any problems rubing you fender

[davirene]

I would estimate about a 3 inch drop....but I used a fender roller and rolled my rear fenders aggressively and a mild roll on the front....otherwise yes they would rub.....

My tires are stretched though.....

Just dont forget, anything more than 5mm slip-on spacers, you'd need longer studs.
