Got Q's about spacers,studs and offsets

[B2ThaZiZza]

Ok got some 17x7 et35 offset wheels, do i need 15mm or 20mm spacers? Are 75mm studs the right size? if e30s have a et20 offset and my wheels are et35 then im thinking 15mm are the correct size. Help me out here...

i say depending on what size tire yer gonna run, and how low yer car is:

10mm spacers will work fine if tire size stays under 225 width and car is pretty low.

15-20mm spacers if yer gonna run >225 tires, but u wont be able to go too low without some fender rolling.

5-10mm spacers depending on your car. I had 17x7 et33 kosei's with 215/40's and they didn't rub at all without spacers. When I traded wheels later with another e30 person, they needed 5mm spacers because they rubbed on the strut.

Im running 205/40/17 Hankook K106s and my car is only lowered 1.5in and the car isnt that low except for my i/iS lip and ryan G splitter combo.

10mm is fine. BTW, yer tires are undersized. 215/40/17 or 205/45/17

Cars don't have offsets. Wheels do.

Those wheels will mount without spacers, just so you know. If you want to push them out for looks, 15mm hubcentric spacers are what you want. 10mm would also work, but won't look as good and are also not hubcentric. You can also get 215/40/17 tires on with 15mm spacers, there isn't any wider tire you'll want to put on those rims anyways.

Just to clarify, that person had bent struts. There should be at least 10mm of clearance with that setup.
