    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.

      Yup.

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

          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.

            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...

            -RH
            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.

                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?

                        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.

                            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.

                              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?
