Anything You Wanna Know About WHEEL SPACERS and OFFSET

[Type-Sly]

Hub-centric or not, I've tried them all on my car. If you have the wrong offset on your wheels and are wondering what set-up will work or not, ask me. I've tried them all because of my +55 offset wheels. I've tried 5mm, 8mm, 5/16, 7/32, 10mm, 15mm and 25mm spacers. This has costed me a lot of money but I wanted the perfect set-up and was willing to experiment.

5mm are the only ones you can use without longer studs. Replacing our studs is not a quick job and they are pressed so mostly only shops can do this (so you have to add the cost of labour into the total).

For those with ITR +60 offset wheels, I recommend H&R or Eibach 25mm spacers all around or 25mm in the rear and 15mm in the front. This set-up looked awesome and felt very stable compared to the 5mm spacers we had on to make them work.

[zirconc]

hm... are our wheel that different than type-r? I just got one. If I don't put the spacer in there, would it cause any problems? And you said use 25mm all around, does that means i have to get longer stud for each one of then? Any idea how muchit will cost me?

thanks

Our stock wheels are +45 offset on a 6.5" rim, as compared to +60 (Type-r) on a 7" rim. Some people get rubbing, some don't with the ITR rims. Whether or not you get rubbing, (without spacers) you will notice that your car's stability has changed for the worse due to a narrower stance. I noticed this even with my +55 offset wheels before I added the 5mm spacer.

If you buy any spacers 10mm or more, they come supplied with the correct size wheel-studs to accomodate for the added length needed. They are also hub-centric which is very important when adding spacers. H&R sells them for about $120 to $130 for a pair. And then factor in about 2.5 hrs labour to change the wheels studs. If I had to do it all over again, I would have just went with the right offset in the first place and avoided all this.

Why get spacers? Because u want your new wheels to be better (handling and looks wise), not worse than the original ones. U have to remember that normally when you go to a larger rim (like 17's or 18's) even with the same offset as stock, the wheels will come out more because the diameter of rim usually goes up as well. This is why aftermarket rims look and handle so much better. You just don't wanna go backwards from this.

[suprpwr]

Maybe you can help me with this (since I'm totally ignorant on this topic). I have 17" Nakayama Vadors, which say they have an offset of 42mm. Is that kind of bad/low/in need of improvement? I've noticed that the rims could stand to be a bit wider to aling with the car's body (of course, doing so might not be adviseable, since I'm dropped about 1.5" on Progress's and the tire might rub against the edge of the wheel well -- it's pretty close already).

Anyway, just wanted to see your thoughts. I've never worked with spacers before, and never really considered offsets that much.

(BTW: hubcentric? quick definition?)

:dontknow:

[whitson01]

getting wheels and tires soon. just wondering will i have problems with rubbing using 17x7 wheels (OZ supperleggera's) w/ 45mm offset and 225-45-17 tires? my car is lowered but i jic's to adjust :thumbsup:

[Reborn]

neither of u last 2 posters needs spacers, u should be fine to jus put the rims on

[zirconc]

So for the ITR rim, I need 15mm wheel spacer for both front and back to make it all around to fit? Any idea where people sell H&R spacer for the best price? I should have checked this before I bought the rim......

thanks

:dontknow:

Well your Nakayamas actually come out 9mm more than your stock rims do (because of the rim width as well as offset difference), but our stock rims look quite tucked. You are within normal range, but you can add a 5mm spacers without any rubbing. I'll sell mine (all 4 for $20 shipped) if you wish to go with this option.
Hub centric means that the spacers rests on the hubs and not on the studs. RSX hubs are 64.1 mm and hub-centric spacers are bored to that exact dimension.

[Dr-K]

Hey Type-Sly, thx for offering your knowledge up...

For 17X7's with 48mm offset would I really need a spacer since they are only 3mm diff than stock? thx

[Type-Sly]

Dr-K - The outside of your wheel actually comes out by 3mm because of the 7" rim width. Your fine.

Overall with a 225 size tire and up to 8" rim, Noone really needs spacers if their rims offset is anywhere between +50 and +35. I've tried a bunch of different offset and spacer combinations in 2 different RSX's (on the street and track) to test the differences in handling/looks. The reason why I started this thread is because when I was in the market for spacers, I couldn't find hardly any answers because not many people have even used them before. There were questions but no answers. I'm really anal about my car, so I needed to know before settling with a certain set-up. :D

[Dr-K]

Hey Thx!

I can relate to being "really anal about my car". This RSX has me hooked (friends & family are getting jealous) :thumbsup:

[rsxdude]

The rear studs are very easy to change. As for the front, it's a pain in the ass. You need a press for that one. I did have +55 offset wheels on my car and it didn't handle as great as the stocks. They were stock tl-s wheels. Good thing I got my money back from them and put the stocks back on.

[WC3STOLEMYLIFE]

i have 5zigen fno1rc 18 do i need spacers or can i run them???? will it help

[not your Type]

Type-Sly,
Before going to H&R spacer/hub-rings, were you getting any vibrations with just generic 5mm spacers?

[JDMWerks]

hey man I just bought ADR sokudo, 18" by 7.5" with a +48 offset, how big of spacers will i need if any, can you get them at a local tire shop?

[Type-Sly]

Type-Sly,
Before going to H&R spacer/hub-rings, were you getting any vibrations with just generic 5mm spacers?

Yes, if you just slap them on, you will get vibrations. What I did was center the rings and duct-taped them into place (ghetto, i know :o ). This worked, but the downside is everytime you take off your wheels you have to retape them. Another member on here glued his and that worked for him.
On a side note: It is recommended that you get 7 full rotations on your lugs before reaching rim but with 5mm spacers, you only get 5.5 rotations. This never proved to be a problem however, as I've used them on both autocross and Track days. The lugs never loosened.


pickard29- +48 is actually the most ideal offset on 18" w/ 225 tires. It gives you almost equal clearance from inside to outside.

[zirconc]

I got a question. My friend bought a OZ rim with Tire Rack. The offset is +55mm. He does not need any wheel spacer. Tire Rack some how correct teh offset by putting something in the center of the rin to correct offset. It that workable for the ITR rims?

What Tire-Rack included with his rims are hub-centric "rings" bored to 64.1mm to fit onto the hub properly (therefore you won't get any wheel-vibration). This is because after-market companies will make their wheels with the biggest possible bore, to ensure that it will fit MOST makes & models. Don't mistake these for hub-centric "spacers" that push your wheels out further. It is IMPOSSIBLE to change the offset of your wheels.

Hub-centric "rings" = $10 US for all 4

Hub-centric "spacers" = $200 to $400 for all 4

edit: Oh and as for your friend not needing a spacer like I said in my previous post: I put mine (+55 offset) on without spacers at first, but it narrowed the stance which made it handle worse and it looked weird being even more tucked than the original wheels (which are really tucked!). THIS IS HOW I STARTED MY SEARCH FOR SPACERS AND INFO in the first place!! For him it's no big deal because he can fix this problem with with 5mm cheapy spacers ($30 US) and easy to install because he doesn't need to change his studs.

[JDMWerks]

sorry, so no spacers needed is what your saying?

[not your Type]

sorry, so no spacers needed is what your saying?
Correct. I have 18x8 (+48) with 225s with no problems, however I'd prefer if the wheels stuck out a bit more.

Type-Sly, thanks for the info. I'm not sure I can justify over $100 on spacers, so maybe I'll see how the getto route goes first :D :thumbsup:

[yeahi]

i use 5 mm spacers all around and they work fine. Vibration on the wheel is more though when traveling at high speeds (usually 70+)

[Type-Sly]

take off your wheels, center the spacers (to the hub) as best as you can and put little strips duct tape between the big holes in the spacer. Voila, vibration gone! Or like i said, use glue :thumbsup:

[Dub3]

how long dose it take to do all the 4 spacers??

also i have 17x7 with 42 offset i got 15mm spacers is that going to look even fron and back??

[not your Type]

Spacers = vibrations
15mm spacers will require longer studs
15mm spacer will push out offset out to +27. I doubt your wheels will fit in the stock wheel wells.

[blacK20]

what about 17x7.5 +52
i know spacers are going to be needed, thats for sure
5 mm spacers seems like itll take care of the narrow stance

[Dub3]

well i put 15's on my rear ill probobly go with 5s in the front

[stcebse03]

so the 25mm. spacer is probobly the best/easiest way to go if I want to run ITR wheels. Have you experienced any negative effects from running such a wide spacer? I want to be able to go back to the stock wheels for the winter without it being real difficult. How low can the car go before it rubs the fender or quarter with this type of setup. Thanks.

Kris

[jzapatajr]

What would be the best spacers for just the stock '05 Type S rims?

[TyFoxx0608]

why would 15mm be better than the 25mm in the fronts? I have 25mm will all around. Whats the differences between those 2?

[miztahsparklez]

im picking up a Rotora BBK but, i just test fit my 18's on the set.. and they dont fit! it came really close even with 10mm spacers that were on the persons car.. but it rotated slightly however, they still touched at certain parts of the caliper. do you think a 15mm spacer will do? or will i need more. i want to do it without making it so large that it will rub on the fender.

any ideas?

[tegitypes]

im planning on running 17x7.5 w/ +48 offset with a Tein SS-p drop. How will these fit? would i need spacers? the Drop isn't that low, maybe 1 and a 1/2 finger fender gap.

[miztahsparklez]

you dont need spacers. 48 offset is less than stock so the wheel is actually inside more.

plus i have 48offset wheels now. and i dont have rubbing. im also slammed on ss-p's

[flashback]

I've been running H&R 25mm spacers on my stcok 05 rims with the A-spec suspension for over a 1000 miles.

Looks hot.
Fit and finish great.
I've re-checked the torque a few times, no problems.
Handles great on smooth twisty roads, but the poor handling of this car on uneven road surfaces is increased.

Its not a cheap mod, but i like the 05 wheel and do not have the cash for the type of after market wheel I like.

Not sure of the long term affects to the suspension components.
Lugs, bearings, etc....
For that reason, I will not recommend this mod.

front and back 25mm?

[secretpickle]

I want some 17x8 wheels. I'll be lowered to the point where I don't have more than a finger of wheel gap between the fender and wheel. I also want the wheels to be flush so what size offset must I need?

MAtt

[miztahsparklez]

my current offset is 28+ =P car looks great,

i used project kics spacers, and had some custom hubcentric rings made for them so all is well.

[KAIZERtype-s]

Man I wish I did a little more research on offset before I purchased my wheels. Now I'm stuck with Volks that dont fit my car.

[gordykeefers]

ouch. Yep, research always pays off.

[Lewis40044004]

Hey guys, just wanna make sure that those will fit my 02 rsx with stock suspension without spacers.

with 205/40/17 tires.

thanks! :bow:

hahaha good one

that's the stock '05 wheel size, FYI

get 215/45/17 tires.

still got the 5 mm spacers for sale?? :dontknow:

are those hubcentric like you were explaining?? LMK.

i got a good deal on 17x7.5 re30's +50 so im gonna use the 5mm to push them out a little without havin to deal with puttin in new studs. :giggitygiggity:

[Type-Sly]

why would 15mm be better than the 25mm in the fronts? I have 25mm will all around. Whats the differences between those 2?

This is just what we found to be the best set-up for looks and feel. When we had the 25mm's all around, we found that the fronts seem to (visually) stick out more than the rears.

No, sold all my extra spcaers a long time ago. The 5mm ones are not hub-centric and you can buy them at any Pep Boys i'm sure.

[InTheRedsDC5]

type-sly, I want to put some 16x8 rota slipstreams with a +48mm offset on my 2002 type S. Will I rub anywhere against the suspension or anything else? would 5mm spacers all around counter the different offset and width of the new rims?

[Matrix86]

So if I get ITR wheels, I knew I was going to need 25mm spacers. But I wasn't aware that I would have to extend my studs? Is this really needed or just a recommendation? Btw I'm lowered on Eibach sportlines, don't know if that makes a difference.

[miztahsparklez]

you dont need to extend the studs with the 25mm spacers since they are just bolt on. however, anything smaller and you will need to have some put in.

awesome, no I just have to find a used set.

thanks for the answer!

[miztahsparklez]

however. if you want... theres some made by project KICS. these are BOLT ON! but, you need to buy hubcentric rings/have some made. and you need to have rims with empty spots behind where the studs would be. on the other hand.. if you are more daring, you can cut off the studs to make them fit your wheels if they do not have this space.

[madru17]

they space the wheel

[Chetho]

Im thinking about buying some Konig Tuner Two's from my friend for cheap, obv wondering if they will fit or if i will need spacers:

17x7.5
5x114.3
+45 offset

I am not positive, I think i would need some spacers, since they are wider than stock rims but w/ the same as stock offset. If so, what size spacers? thanks guys

[ariel7073]

I have an 06, what size spacers would look best with the stock rims?

[Doobay]

I have an 05 Type S with JDM EP3 (CTR) wheels with 215/17/45 tires, the wheels would look nicer if it lined up with body better. What wheel spacers would you recommend and what offset would I have? I don't have a clue what they are right now. I would like to change the tires to 225/17/45 soon, I am not sure if that would change anything. Thank you.

bump does anyone have anymore info on this 16*8 on an rsx with a 5mm spacer. anyone tried it?

[Clish]

i always thought they said that it is dangerious to go tracking with spacers.... but i get the impression here that you guys want to add spacers and then go tracking?

i always thought they said that it is dangerious to go tracking with spacers.... but i get the impression here that you guys want to add spacers and then go tracking?

its only really dangerous if you dont have longer studs to compensate for the added width.

I just put my ITR rims with 15mm spacer and my tire size are 225/45/17 and when I go over 70-80 mph I get vibration! I don't wanna do the duck tap thing, if i get a 4 wheel tire rotation will the vibration stop?! Thank you! P.s Sam

i have a question about these wheels on my car:

http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e382/iamthekingofclowns/codyedited.jpg

I want them to look real beefy, sticking out just a tad- they are these no name "volution" rims... 17x 7 - im not too sure the offset.

so I guess if I wanted a big change I could get 25mm spacers... but im confused

someone on the top of page 3 said

"you dont need to extend the studs with the 25mm spacers since they are just bolt on. however, anything smaller and you will need to have some put in."

but in the first post of this thread it says, anything above 5mm and you need longer studs, right?

any advice I would appreciate!

[hungsta]

17by 7 +40 offset running 225/45 would a 15mm spacer flush it out? i dont mind a lil camber

[top_cat87]

if i use 18"x8.5 +32mm offset will they rub inside the wheel well? or should i get like 38mm

like i said.. the 25mm spacers are BOLT ON and already have longer studs pressed into the spacers. IE: you bolt it on to your hub like any wheel, then the wheel goes on the spacer.

however, smaller spacers dont have that luxury, unless you go with spacers made by project kics, which has a similar design to the 25mm spacers, but you now have to worry about your studs sticking out too far and your rims not fitting.

[SolidTypeSexy]

did anyone feel any diffent after you put on your ITR rims because when i had my type S rims it feel faster when i take off on the freeway or on the street! but with the ITR rims it feel slower, is it because with the spacer and the ITR rims is heavyer?

[vitarsxll]

ok so someone help me i just bought drag dr9 rims and it has 40 Off Set 5x100/114.3 BOLT PATTERN 17x7 do i need spacers?
i want to make the rear rim stick out a little for an aggresive look what do u recommend?

keep in mind that right now i have stock rims and they are tucking a little i dont know if that makes a difference

[spray2020]

wow, its like over 500 for all 4 spacers- sounds better to just buy new wheels

[chunktwo]

question about 5mm spacers..

i wanted to run 5mm spacers.. but wanted to double check that if i were to run these spacers would it still be possible to hub-centric rings??

im concerned that if the rings arent used that i would get vibrations at high speeds..

thanks

[miztahsparklez]

wow, its like over 500 for all 4 spacers- sounds better to just buy new wheels

its not over 500 for 4 spacers... spacers come in sets of two. at most you would pay a few hundred... plus install if you dont install them yourself.


but yes.. if you can afford new wheels, then wheels > spacers


clunk- it depends on the spacers you get.. if you get the generic spacers, you will most likely have some vibrations.

more expensive equivalents are already hubcentric.

i actually have a set for sale that are custom made for aftermarket wheels. i believe the centerbore is converted from stock to 71-2mm(or was it 64.1)? or whatever most aftermarket wheels are bored out to.

[2ndlife]

Yea spacers are somewhere in the $200+ range for four. No way you would need to pay $500 for four. If you can change a tire, then you can put pn a spacer.
You may need a buddy to step on the brakes while you tighten the nuts though.
Probably hub centric rings are not necessary in most cases. If you can have easy access to them, get them. If not, I haven't seen too many people complain of vibrations even without them. I think aftermarket wheels at least Japanese ones are of about 73mm centerbore.

the ones in question are the 5mm H&R ones.. i know they are hubcentric. but after putting the spacer on would i still be able to use the hubcentric rings for aftermarket wheels..

<img>http://www.bmwtips.com/tipsntricks/Wheel%20Spacer%20Notes/Image1.gif</img>

if you look at the spacer to the right its a H&R spacer.. it doesnt have that lip coming out like the other one..

am i to assume that even with the spacer an OEM wheel would be able to center it self on the hub since the spacer is only 5mm??

[miztahsparklez]

well considering 5mm is small enough to cover that lip that the hubcentric rings would sit on, you probably wont be able to use the rings.

however, the spacer itself should be hubcentric, so you have less chance of it vibrating.

most wheels should be able to center themselves on the hub because of the taper drilled into the wheel. most likely if you follow the standard bolting on procedure, you should be okay.

again, if you have aftermarket wheels with the proper centerbore (73mm) i have 5mm spacers that will be hubcentric to these wheels for sale.

[2ndlife]

after 5mm spacers, will the lugs be long enough to for the nuts to adequate tighten?

i checked it out.. there is about 1mm of the lip left for the hubcentric ring to sit on after the 5mm spacer was applied..

it is enough to keep the ring in place..

[miztahsparklez]

unfortunately it probably wont keep the ring in place as usually the inner part of the rings are chamfered (angled in) so they dont stick to the hub. chances are that theres probably at least 2-3mm before you get to the proper sized part of the ring.

you are correct.. i checked up on it again when i had some more time.. but im riding with 5mm spacers in the rear for the time being and so far no vibrations at higher speeds.. but im on stock wheels at the moment.

[Realone]

Type-Sly, I'm hoping you can help me. I'm a little confused. I have two different sets of rims with different offsets.
The front two wheels have a +40 offset,
The rear two wheels have a +45 offset.
Does this mean i need 5mm spacers for the front +40 wheels to make them +45?


If you were curious why I have this set up, it's because a friend gave me two +40 rims that were discontinued and I found two on the internet that look just like them but the offset is +45.

[2ndlife]

Type-Sly, I'm hoping you can help me. I'm a little confused. I have two different sets of rims with different offsets.
The front two wheels have a +40 offset,
The rear two wheels have a +45 offset.
Does this mean i need 5mm spacers for the front +40 wheels to make them +45?


You can make +45 to +40 that way by adding spacer. But not +40 to +45. There is no way to do that.

[Realone]

I see, so I have it backwards.
If I add a 5mm spacer to the +45 offset rims it will give me a result of +40.

So when I add any spacers, they will push the wheel out (protrude) but the offset number gets lower.

Thanks, I will add 5mm spacers to the +45 offset rims.

yes, that's correct.

[Realone]

According to this website (link below), some people prefer to have different offsets.

Does this mean it doesn't matter if I run +40 in the front and +45 in the back?
Are there negative effects to doing this?

can someone help me im kinda confused about these hubcentric rings

i have 15mm project kics with project kics 64mm hubcentric rings and 17x7.5 work emotion cr kais

i assume that the kics hub rings are only hubcentric to the vehicle and not the wheels since there is only one dimension of 64mm??
does it mean i still need hub rings for my wheels? if so why is there a lip on the kics hub rings??!!!!

[rileyra]

looking for recommendation, I've pretty much narrowed my choice down to Tenzo Dc-6's 18x8. My suspension is stock atm, eventually i want to drop but thats next year some time. What offset would be best for 18x8 on stock susp. ive seen them for sale in +25 +35 and +45

yes.. the project kics rings are designed to fit stock wheels, so you would just treat them as stock.


however, i had some custom ones made since the inner diameter of the kics spacers happened to match the center bore of my wheels. so i just have a ring inside each spacer.

Hey I am running 18x9.5 in the back. with +38 and


18x7.5 in the front +42. I want the front to stick out a bit more, if I go with a 5mm spacer, will it look about even?

thanks for any help.

[gordykeefers]

questions like that can be answered with a ruler. go out to the car, measure 5mm farther than the middle of the wheel. that's where it will be.

[EG6RSX]

im putting tsx wheels on my car,,, i belive that the offset is 50... so i def wouldnt have rubbing issues with 25mm spacers right??

[ka0t1c07]

Will any of these setup fit in an 02 RSX without having to add more negative camber? 18x8 +20, 18x9 +32 and 18x8.5 +32, 18x9.5 +32

Thanks in advance.

[Jacek]

ok, I have a question as well,
recently, I installed ITR Brembo, they are awesome btw!!!
For summer I have SSRs comp, and they clear with no problem,
I have another set of stock 06 type-s with winter tires, I heard they wont clear, what size of wheel spacers I should get?
Also, if I want to get another set of wheel, what offset should i look for to fit my Brembo brakes?
thanks!!!

[Jacek]

ok, never mind, my stock types 06 wheels fit over brembo without any problem. Im happy!

[shwafia]

[greg001]

I got a question. If i got a +42 offset, what kind of spacers do i need to make the wheels flush with the fenders?

[BLACK04DC5]

just wondering out of curiosity, do you need extended studs if you buy wheels with a very low offset? I never see it discussed but I don't see why not, isn't it more or less the same as using big spacers. I'm having trouble visualizing it, maybe someone can chime in.

[Luna1904]

do itr rims need spacers?

[AznKirby]

I just bought ITRs. Now I know I'll be needing 25mm spacers, but I was just wondering about the extended OEM lug nuts..
Firstly, where can I get them?
Secondly, is there any way I can find some that look like extended Rays?

[jmart41791]

bringing this back from the dead.

I'm so confused when it comes to wheel offset. I'm looking to kill the whole wheel tucked into the fender so I'm looking for a lower offset...(i think..) and was looking to buy 05-06'ers but figured with a +45 offset it would still be tucked into the fenders. Would you be able to use spacers to decrease the offset and in turn push the tire away from the car?

Sorry if its a dumb questions. I just thought i should ask here before doing something stupid. Also I DONT WANT TO ROLL FENDERS. not in the mood to take my car to the body show (:

rolling fenders is a must. and yes you can use 25mm spacers.

[dc5allmotor]

So I'm looking into getting some custom wheels from CCW and I want 17's. What is the best off set and widest rim/tire I can go without rubbing in the front and rear. Im looking at 8.5 wide and what size tire would be best? I'm also rolling my fenders.

A friend of mine has a set of 5x100 17x7.5 ET48 Rotas that we are thinking about for the RSX... A lug adapter is about 30mm of spacing... So would a 17x7.5 ET15 - ET18 fit? Rolled fenders? They have 225/45/17's on them...

[rellikdc5]

xxr 962 17x9 with 35 offset on 2006 rsx lowered on tein s techs. Any spacers needed? Best size tires for this set on teins so won't have major rubbing issue? Thanks.

[Ramen Lunei]

I just bought some 8mm project kics spacers. I know theyll fit without extended studs. I dont' think theyre hubcentric. Will i have vibration issues? My wheels already have hubcentric rings. Will i have to remove the rings to use the spacers?

[02Silvertop]

Ok, so I have 5zigen 17x7s, tires are 225/45/17 and I get a little tire rub when I take tight turns. Does anyone think that the 5mm Eibach spacers on the site will be enough to get rid of the tire rub or should I opt for a larger spacer?

Keeping in mind, the car is only daily driven with occasional spirited driving.

[BoneStock]

I was wondering if running some 16X7 wheels with +40 offset would be fine without any spacers. I think it should be ok but wanted to confirm with more knowledgeable people.

[paullabranche]

im dropped 2inches on ksports. i have 18x8 +35 on tires 225/40/18
i am rolling my fenders, and maybe buying a camber kit.. so i would like to know what spacers should i use??
i was thinking max 10mm? and how much camber would i need?
i want it to sit flush with the rims to be sticking out of the fenders just abit.
thanks ill take any advice

[EddieIt]

so the biggest spacer u can use on stock studs is 8mm?

[dambikeracer]

so the biggest spacer u can use on stock studs is 8mm?

5MM on stock studs

[Game]

so the biggest spacer u can use on stock studs is 8mm?

5MM on stock studs

You can use 25mm spacers if you get them studded.

So technically you would be able to use just about any spacer size you want, however you'd either need to replace the OEM studs with extended studs OR have studs attached to the spacer and file down the OEM studs.

[iRSX06]

would 5mm spacers from crsx work on 05 stockies?

I don't know if it'll rub, but +38 is definitely fine: I'm +35, although with 17x7
18 is huge man lol
I don't really know how much clearance we have for the wheel well, it might rub when you turn

[YaNpeR]

Question for yall:

<planning on getting some 17x9+28 wheels probably crkai, what size spacer is needed for that to clear the back control arm and also not interfere with the wheel a 20mm or 25mm? i would be running all the same wheels on same spacers but i dont want to make it look like a rwd car. would 25mm spacers make it look good all around or will i be safe with the wheel not touching from the hubcentric spacers or could i do 20mm and be safe with these wheels.

[YaNpeR]

anyone?

[ironman707]

quick question

i am about to buy some 17x9 sportmax xxr 522

the fronts are going to be +38 and the rear +22

i am going to get the rear megan camber kit for sure

and i am planning on adding some 20mm spacers. not sure if i should add the spacers all around

do you think im doing the right thing or do i need anything else that i need to add

[Alambros01]

So, I have 05-06 Stockies with 225/45/17's on them... I also have BC N+ coilovers and a rear camber kit so I have a decent drop but its not slammed. I was looking to pick up some 25mm H&R spacers for the front and back to back the Stockies sit flush with the fenders. I have gotten mixed answers from searching so #1 do I have to roll my rear fenders to avoid rubbing?

and rolling fenders over shaving? simple shave sand and touch up would seem much easier to me? :dontknow:

[YaNpeR]

Yes you would.need to roll

[Alambros01]

uh I have also searched and searched and I cant get any real answers for Lug Nuts for stock wheels... people have said ball seat but I cant really find any brands that say that. Just looking for stainless or chrome so I didnt think it would be very hard but I cant find any good websites... any help?

they won't fit. you need a +35 offset or lower.

[white99lude]

Hey, I drive a prelude and I purchased some spacers from kday. I just found out they are not hubcentric so I purchased some hub rings that are size, 64.1 by 71.12 to fit into my DC5 ITR rims. But the hub rings didn't fit in either the spacers or the rim. Do you know what size hub rings do I need? Also, I'm thinking about just parting out the stuff I have to buy a legit hubcentric rings if its too much problem.

[503servicetempdown]

i believe its 38 or lower to be exact.

so is it 38 or 35 or lower to not rub?

[RICKYritethere]

so is it 38 or 35 or lower to not rub?

Depends on the wheel. With most 9's you cant run anything higher than +38 unless its in front or mildly in the rear. You want something in between a 17x9 +17- +29

What's your offset?
You must roll the back if your lowered and for the front you most likely also if your offset is around +40. When I got a chance to try on 25mm spacers on my 17x7 +40 rims I had too roll both rear and front but it's worth it imo because it looks much better if your wheels are sunked in.

I just got a set of 17x8 +45 and 17x9 +45 RPF1s in gold. Obviously putting the 17x9 in the rear w/o spacers wouldn't work as they would hit the rear trailing arm (correct?). The 17x8 +45 should clear the rear just fine right? I plan to run the 17x9s in the front (Even with the +45 offset I believe this should fit without trouble) and the 17x8s in the rear. That should fit without need of spacers. Maybe a bit of a fender roll and some camber in the front. Am I wrong?

[koyv90]

are 17x9s with a +25 offset good?

[CaStillo88]

ok...after about a week of searching and reading through the various threads in here, i finally came to the conclusion of what offset i might want. do you think i can pull off 18x8 +38 with 225/40/18 tires on a 2" drop all around? its either i go with +38 or +40. not interested in rolling fenders. its the only reason why im asking this. thanks in advance! :bow:

here are my wheels,

[koyv90]

So I am getting 17x7.5 +45 offset rims and will be dropping my car 2inches. Was wondering what tires i should get 215 or 225 and if i will need spacers to make the car look flush. I dont want hellaflush just to have it be even.

Anyone???

[Vik DC5]

Anyone???

You won't have to modify anything since its not a wide wheel and its higher offset. unless you planning on getting spacers than you'll prolly have to roll your fender. What kind of wheels you getting?

[rantav]

So im planning on getting a pair of wheels around the spring, and the ones i have in mind are 17x8 with 35mm offset (Drag DR-31's)

I am lowered about 1.5 inches all around, so its very mild, with this setup i probably dont need to roll my fenders correct?

[redRanger_DC5]

Yeah that's what I was thinking. I want more of a flush look. I was thinking about getting 25mm all around or possibly 25mm for the rear and 15mm front. Would I need to get my fenders rolled even if my drop is only a little low? I guess what my main question is how can I achieve the most aggressive look with the minimal amount of work lol. I picked up some wedsports sa90

[koyv90]

guess we will just have to wing it hah.

[redRanger_DC5]

That's what I ended up doing. Now I'm running camber like a motherfucker. Just placed an order for 10mm spacers which should clear my control arm

I've searched for 2 days now about tires and possibilities and especially fitting with proper geometry. Here is what I've gathered - please correct me if I am wrong and to hell with your grilling.

What I want, Flush look with sound geometry.
Plan Ce28N 17x8 5x114.3
Now for the offset
option 1 +33 - this will make the wheel look sunken in because the cars' natural offset is +45? If I add a 10mm spacer the center of the wheel is roughly aligned with mounting spot.
I know the mounting spot will never be in line with the center due to the offset but if I'm thinking of the original mounting point we'll be kosher? - somehow this seems flawed.
option 2 +47 - Geometrically will fit - will look 2mm pushed out (if you can even notice that) The center of the wheel is roughly where it needs to be.

Very mixed up and looking for clarification.

for reference - a look similar to this is what I'm aiming for.

17x8 +47 is going to rub the trailing arm without a lot of camber. I had x8 +45 and scraped the shit out of mine. Had to run almost -2.5 camber to clear.

^yeah that I noticed on the fitment calculator I found - but wouldn't a spacer solve that issue?

[F-BOM]

sure

I got it cleared up, I had my offsets mixed up. Lower number = wheel more towards fender.

yeah 9.5 . are your rears pulled ? and are your fronts rolled?

i did a slight pull on my rears its barely anything. fronts i did with my hands

I found some wheels that I want for my TSX. They are 18x8.5 +38, tires are 225/40/18. Will I have any fitment issues?

first post says you can run only a 5mm but i have a 6mm spacer lol

I currently have 18x7.5 rims +45 with 215/40/18 tires...My question is what size spacer will I need to be semi flush with my front and rear fenders. I'm also dumped pretty low tucking 1/2 of an inch of tire front and back...I was looking at either 10mm or 15mm spacers. Much help would be greatly appreciated:thumbsup: Thanks!

I have an '02 base with '06 Type-S wheels, standard tire size. I measured my fender gap in the rear and I have exactly 1 inch (25.4mm) of space.

Does that mean its safe to get 25mm spacers or should I go slightly smaller to be safe?

This is the guide I used:
