    wheel fitment studs spacers

    Ok i know my set up isnt that agressive but i couldnt pass up the wheels they are 16x8.5et15 squared. well my question is how wide of a spacer should i run up front and rear to achieve the sweet spot. ill be dumped on GC complete coilover set up. i was thinking 10 up front and 25 in the rear? Also with those size spacers what size studs should i get? 75/95mm? and tires 205/45 should be a good set up i think 40's on 16's don't have enough meat? The e30 game is a completly different thing for me so

    I am not the expert but I am damn near positive that those wheels will fit with no spacer.

    If you do run spacers (for looks) I'd do nothing more than 5mm front and 10mm rear.

      i will be rolling my fenders and stuff so i want it to poke some in the rear and be about as flush as it can get in the front. :?

        If you're running a 25mm spacer you need to get 90mm studs. Hell, even with a 10mm spacer I would get 90mm studs. But, for the stance you're looking for 10-15mm Front and 20-25mm Rear should be perfect. Double check with Mystikal, though. He knows his shit.

              If you don't want the rear to fit, 25 should be perfect.

                Are you positive it's an 8.5"? Are you getting shortened GC's? If so, you're gambling hitting the collar with anything less than a 10mm in front.

                15mm rear is furthest I'd go with a 205/45 since I like my fenders.
                With an early model you can push more in the rear.
