borbet type B's 16x9

I have 16x9 all around and was wondering what kind of spacers should I run front and rear?

the wheels are et10 all the way around.

They should be fine the way they are.

On my 16x9 type As I use an 8mm spacer to clear the front calipers.

Really? I had no idea that these needed spacers to run. Something new today. My bad.

Well on paper a 16x9 et10 wheel would NOT need a spacer to clear anything on the backside.
Depending on your tire size, ride height and desired look you can space them out accordingly.

cool - but not so cool as I only have 5mm spacers atm

not a problem man- but yes they do hit the front calipers stock, barely but they do....

in your opinion teaguer, what size spacers would yield a nice stance? I like it when its pretty flush, I will be runnig coilovers once this is all said and done :)

also,

what is the difference between et 10 and et 20 besides from the obvious difference of 10mm in size? which one puts the car at a wider stance??

thank you in advance :)

On my 16x9 et 15 type t's I ran 15mm front and 20mm rear. So if you want flush fitment id run a 15mm rear and 10mm front and drop it down on its nutz. ;)

The lower the offset or ET# the more the wheel will stick out.

I generally like to run at least a 15 spacer on the rears just to get the wheels even with each other. But have ran up to an 25 on the rears for more poke type action.
The front will need less obviously.

Since you say the ft is hitting the caliper as is, you should see if the 5mm will clear them. If not double up your 5's to make a 10 and see if that clears.
Just double them up to test fit only, plus you would need extended bolts if you run a 10.
Whatever you need to clear on the front you would want to at least double that on the rear for looks.
Of course then you would start running into issues with going out too far and having clearance issues with the tire/fender.

My Type B's are 16x9 ET15 and I run a 4mm spacer up front and have no issues.

I was told that a 3mm spacer is the minimum you can run to get a final offset of ET12 so your ET10 offset is perfect.
