    Size spacers you recommend

    So I am looking to get a set of wheels I ordered to sit flush to the fender with or without much roll needed...they are 16x8 with offset 30...I was thinking about doing 20mm spacers in the rear and 15mm in the front...am I crazy or will that make it sit about flush front and rear?

    15 in the from sounds about right but make sure you can squeeze some proper tires on there

        I was running 15mm (final et5) on my 16x7.5 and it was perfect. Couldn't go higher that 205/40 though.

          That's kind of bubbly.
          I'd do 20's all around.

            bubbly?? 20 you mean 220s??

            @Harry

            Do you think 20mm in the rear will match the front

                I'm getting some et33 I think a 10-15mm spacer should work fine.On my car a et 20 is stock so a 10mm would make it a et 23 which is close to stock.if you don't have wheel studs need to get them.you can use washers as spacers to estimate.

                  final offset of 10 in the rear should be pretty close to the front.

                  Before you actually buy some spacers , get in touch with me and ill let you try my 15mm ones to see how it looks on front and rear then take it from there.

                      205/50/16 would be the correct size. Run that with a 15mm spacer.

                      Or go 225/45/16 and a 10mm spacer.

                        Ok great thanks, and just to confirm the rears with a 20mm will be good?
