hey i have a 1995 coupe and im run 17 x 7.5 rims with 225/45/17’s for rubber im looking to get spacers but not sure what size spacer to run, i have rolled my rear quarters but did not do my front fenders, i was thinking inch and a half spacers on the back and inch and a quarter on the front, looking for the flush look, any help or advise would be greatly appreciated. ---

use washers to get flushness. remove washers and measure. then go and purchase spacers to measurements ---

honestly, get new rims. 17x7.5 is going to have a FWD offset too… you shouldnt be running 30mm spacers on a car… that’s like $600 in spacers to space out a set of $150 wheels. go buy some better fitting wheels instead and use spacers to fine-tune the fitment not to unfuck shit wheels ---

sorry to bud in on this topic but what is a good fitment? i have a set of volks, 17x9 +20 all around, should i get 5 mm spacers all around to make it +15 offset? i have not rolled my fenders yet and plan on getting 255/40s in the rear and 235/40s up front, ---

fitment depends on ride height, alignment settings, tire sizes, wheels widths and offsets etc. etc. least wheel gap without rubbing is good fitment ---

there is no such thing as a good cheap spacer that wont cost you a few hundred dollars for 30mm on all 4 corners.
