I need 5mil spacers

[Mystikal]

Not legititmately "worried", just wondering how much clearance I actually have before the fenders and/or struts. Tires are 205/50 Potenza S03's.

205's on ET20 is only 4mm further out than the factory 15's. You have acres of room.

Just get 15mm hubcentrics and call it a day. Gives the car a real aggressive stance.

What size tires do you have on there? I have the same wheels as you and with 205/45/16 tires and ET20 effectively I had TONS of room, could easily fit 225's, and I had the same suspension and early car, so what are you worried about?

Yep. And if you pay attention, they don't make anything slimmer than 15mm that is hubcentric. ;)

Legend has it FK once did make a 10mm hubcentric, and stopped because of reported failures.

These guys have all kinda dandy spacers and adapters.

Peace

I want to move out to 10mm, but I'll probably have to roll my fenders before I can do that, 2mm might be just that little bit too far.

Yep. Run any spacer bigger than 6mm and you'll start rubbing back there without rolling.

Roll the crap outta the fender and go 15mm hubcentric if you want, but I just deal with the uneven clearance issue mentally.

215/50-16 should of gone with 225/50's

According to this deler, the 5 and 10MM ones (same brand as Tunershop carries) are NOT hubcentric.

Hmmm . . .

16X7 ET26 btw, need to bump out the rears

What tires are you running again?

You probably won't notice 6mm spacers, and anything more than that and you'll need to roll the fenders.

H&R doesn't make a small hubcentric spacer but I definitely had 5mm and 10mm "hubcentric" spacers on my car, meaning they had the lips for the wheel to center/ hang on. They were German made GCC's from Tunershop.

Did the CR7's need hubcentric rings when you didn't use the spacers? In other words, was the centerbore larger than the E30's hub?

Otherwise, it's physically impossible to have a spacer that has 57.1mm inner bore, and 57mm outer bore. There is simply not enough room. This is what I posted above.

Ed,

I'd like to see what those 5mm ones look like. Conceptually, it makes no sense to me that they would have a lip on them as they still should sit lower than the end of the hub.

H&R "hubcentric" 5mm and 8mm is bullshit. The spacers cannot have hub lips, so they are not hubcentric on an E30 at all.

For 57mm in/out, 15mm is the minimum produced. This is why I either use 3mm spacers, or shoot for 15mm.

And Josh, aren't your wheels like ET35? Run 15mm spacers and be done with it, they will work fine.

so, offsets confuse me for the most part. whats the ideal for a 16X7. i dont even recall what the offset of the wheels currently is, but the rears sit in a little too far... appearance wise.

BTW: they are Fittipaldi 5 spokes by OZ [old school!]
