Wondering what mm spacers would be good on a + 45 offset?

Depends on the wheel size.

I dunno, I woud look into 20mm or higher perhaps. Bring your 17x7 +45  
down to something in the mid-20s or so would be good? :dunno:

There are more wheel experts here then me so Im sure someone will  
correct me if I’m way off.

put the wheels on a figure out how much space you have before you buy spacers.

Sasha, what are the specs on your wheels and tires?

They fit perfectly atleast they look it.

9" +22F (after spacers)  
10" +29R (after spacers)

front and rear both need to come out like… 7.5mm… i know i’m picky… but I think 10mm would be too much, 5 would be reasonable.

But since i’m getting slicks soon that I think will bulge out a lot more I’m not going to upgrade to 20mm spacers, i’ll see how the slicks fit first 🙂

Thanks for the compliment man

i’d have to second that for sure. Depends on how close to the fenders you want to run, if you are willing to remove the fender lining/roll the fender if you lower the car, and just what looks good for you.

I have a set of 17x7.5 +47… i’m getting a set of 15mm HR spacers with extended studs… I asked around here, and there are too many opinions on what looks good, and what actually rubs.

I bow to the almighty Test-fit God.
