16x8 ET38 - How big of a spacer?

[RyanZ06]

I know this question has been beat to death, and I searched, but no solid answers.

It *sounds* like I'm going to need ATLEAST a 10mm spacer up front, and probably a 5mm spacer in the back to make it "look" right.

Is this correct?

I'll be running 205/45/16 Hoosiers all the way around.


Thanks!

You are going to want a 20mm hubcentric spacer front and rear with fender rolling most likely. I would spring for some studs too.

a 15mm spacer would fit fine in the back and be very very close to the strut up front.

20mm would be best. You shouldnt have to do much rolling with 205's

Also - I forgot to mention, I do have Ground Control coil overs..which should make a difference for strut clearance.

So it looks like i'm going to buy these 20mm H&R spacers from Turner... and their longer wheel studs.

Should I worry about the spacer fitting my center bore?

These look nice, has anyone used these?

not really. Unless you shortened the strut in which case you'll have less clearance.

Those should do the trick. I wouldnt worry about hubcentrics. Wont matter much for auto-x or track. Get a stud kit though, it will make wheel changes much simpler.

So I need to run those front and rear?

That effectively makes my wheels 18mm offset, so I guess that will work!

Yep. Perfect.
