16x7, ET35, what size spacers?

[PaulZ]

I currently have 2 - 15mm spacers.

1. Should I just get 2 more 15mm spacers?

2. Should I buy 4 - 10mm spacers for correct fitment and sell the 15mm's?

3. Should I keep the 15mm's and pick up 2 - 10mm's for the front?

4. Will the 15mm spacers run closer to the strut or the wheel well?

I would like to run a tire with a decent sidewall, not 205's or 215's, and my car is dropped 60/40 (Koni S/A's and Eibach Sports)

Thanks!

I have 16x7 et35 wheels and am running 10 mm spacers all around. I'm pretty sure you can run 15mm all around without rubbing, maybe not with 225s. You say you have the 15mm spacers, why not test fit the wheels on both ends and check for clearance.

10mm will work, no problems at all. 15mm starts to get close to the fenders, you may need to roll them if you go with more than 205s. I know people on here runing 16x7 et20 (the same if you ran 15 mm spacers), but I don't know their tire size or if they have rolled their fenders.

what size tire do you run?

I have 16x7's ET40 with 20mm spacers (ET20 overall, same as you running a 15mm) and some 205's that run wide, and a 60/40 drop with no rolled fenders and no rubbing. With 225's and ET20, you could probably get away with rolled fenders and not rub. Depends on which tire it is though.

205/50-16 hankook rs-2

[PaulZ]

so I guess the safe bet would be to run 10mm's at all 4 corners, and wrap them with 205/50's?

[redcarbon]

like digitalwave said, you CAN run the 15mm spacers with a 205 tire. I would do that since you already have 2 15mm spacers. But if you want to get rid of the spacers and get 10mm ones, I'll take the 15mm spacers, I'd like to see what the wheels look like spaced out another 5 mm.

No, 15mm is spenty for 205 tires but if you want to run 225's it will be easier with 10mm spacers.

were can I purchase 10mm spacers? all I can find is 15mm's...

also, if I ran 15mm's in the back and 10mm in the front, would that be a problem? it would just have a wider stance in the back, correct?

You'd be fine.

anyone know where I can get 10mm spacers?

[Mystikal]

15mm spacers.

Know why? Because it's about impossible to find anything less than 15mm with a proper 57mm hubcentric lip, and without that you will have vibration issues.

15mm, front and back. 225's will work with rolling, if you want to. Anything less than that will mount without modification.
