Rear spacers

[NEA-4311]

As you all know but dont remember, I run 18 X 8.5J ET35 all around. That causes my rear wheels to stick out less than my front wheels.
Assuming someone with the same wheel size has done this, or knows for sure anyway, how thick should the spacers I install be, in order to even out the rear with the front? 10mm? 15mm? 20mm? other? Thaaaanks..!

crazy00c230k has H&R 10mm spacers in the rear, and it really evened out the look from front to rear.

10mm should do the trick

for more extreme get some 25mm adapter. (not spacer) :D

i ran regular 25mm spacers w/ no problem.

[NEA-4311]

10mm then! Cool, thanks guys.

Ddint you have rubbing issues with the 25mm? What wheels were you on?

Go for 1 inch =25mm spacers. 10mm wouldnt cut it, then again your current tire size is something you must also consider.

I use to have 225/45/17 on a 17 by 8.25 et 34 wheels all around. Added an inch spacer on the rears and it was perfect.

19x9.5 +30 plus 25mm spacer brought it down to a +5 offset. my fenders were pulled and i was running a 235/35/19.

Yup, that 10mm made a world of difference, 15mm would probably make my wheels sit perfectly flush w/the fender, but i run pretty beefy tires and i dont want to deal w/rubbing issues, just make sure to get extended lugs as well

Yeah thats what i thought, today i measured the distance of the wheel to the fender and it looked like 15mm would better do the trick. Ive also tracked some spacers on ebay.de and im considering of buying them... those ebay.com ones look really nice as well grga.

Oh and BTW, what size rear tyres are you running crazy00c230k?

Dont you have any scrubing issues at all? I mean, this looks like it will scrub the inside of the arch if you sneeze!:eek:

[ryhi]

nope. when the car got lower it would camber in.

235/40/18, but they're bfgoodrich gforce sports and the sidewall is really square, so its probably about as wide as a 245 of some other brands
