    How big of a spacer would I need to fit a 16x7 +43mm wheel?

    *edit* I figured out the wheel is available in +35 and +43.

    I assume I should go with the +35.. Which spacer do i need to make it look right???

    I'm looking at a set of enkei's unfortunately, it doesnt seem they make the correct offset, these are for a miata...

    With the 35 offset a 10mm spacer would be perfect.

            Buy the ET43 model, and run either 15mm or 20mm hubcentric spacers.

            Most 10mm spacers are not hubcentric, so since you have the option just stay away. ET43 + 15mm spacer will fit 225/45/16 without rubbing at all. Stay away from 225/50/16, your wheelwells will not like you.

              I'm going to go with the +38 (i found available) and go with a non hubcentric 10mm spacer.

              Thanks!

                Get ready for some horrible vibrations. The car will also be resting its entire weight on the lugs, a scary setup.
