you mentioned 10+ mm spacers for our cars are basically non existent in hubcentric form. so since even with my 5mm spacers I'm hittin frame, I'm fucked?

Yep, I have said that. And finally, a manufacturer came through, as the poster after you pointed out.

Quick question...can I use the lug bolts from my OEM 14" steelies with OEM bottlecaps? Gonna add some RT-615s and go tear up the cones, but need to make sure the lugs will work.

Yup.

As an update to this, no problems at all. Fenders are pulled a little though.

I don't really believe those offsets at all then. My 7" ET20 225 looks more flush than that.

Im looking at getting a 75mm stud kit for stock 4 lug cause im tired of the coroded shit i use now.

am i good with a 8-10mm spacer on those studs?

Ill be running e38 style 5s, but mosty weaves

Yeah sorry, replied to your PM today.

75mm is a massive stud, I wouldn't recommend it because you probably won't be able to get the caps on the wheels after.

Even a 60mm stud is enough for up to 15mm spacers.

OK, I've read through most of the thread that pertains to 15x6.5 wheels...

Referencing a reply to a question about 15x7 ET38 wheels it was said to go with 205/55 tires with a 20mm Spacer for a flush fit.

Since my wheels are ET33 by my simple math I should go with 15mm spacers for a flush fit. However for maximum 'drivability' should I go with a 10mm or 12.5mm Hubcentric as shown in the ecstuning link above? I'm not as concerned with the 'flushness' of it all, I would rather have full range of suspension play without having to worry about fender or wheel-well rub since I'm not planning on rolling my fenders...

I've run those same wheels, with the same tires. No spacers needed.

If you want to push them out a bit, 15mm is perfect. You won't even be close to rubbing, don't worry.

I was going to post a thread about this in a few days, glad to see the info here.

BBS RX 16x7 et35 with a 1" spacer up front and a 2" out back

They're on an early model, so the back has a bit more room.

This is a STRETCH... but would a 205/50 fit on a 9" rim?

Weird. More pics necessary.

Easily.

[evil_twin]

Really? Would it look too goofy? I want to run an 8" rim in the front and a 9" in the rear. I have 205 tires for all around.

17x7.5 et40 will this work? spacers so make them sit flush? what tires?

[johnwoo]

ok need some help. just got the car lowered. and i have keskin k1s. i know about having to run a 3 mm spacers for the car front to clear the strut. i don't like how high the car is and i want to run 205/50/16 instead of 205/45. would that be a problem. i was hoping to run a thicker tire to shorten up my gap some. let me know, thanks. keskins are 16x9 +15 offset

edit: or can you guys suggest a thicker tire that would work. im lowered on vogtlands so about 1.7 inches all around.

[evil_twin]

195/50 on a 9in. rim? Would that work? I thought I had 205/50s but I didn't

hey what a thread!! well currently i'm running basketweaves 14" and have been wanting to get something else. Spinning out in the rain on an onramp into the median to I-95 has accelerated my move. I'm on a budget and was thinking of buying a set of 16" sportmax wheels maybe even 17" even though I can't find any 17's with the right offset. will I need to change to different lug bolts if i get the sportmax w/ offset 15?
