You need spacers for a 40mm offset??
I have a +49mm offset with 1/4" spacer in the rear. I just ordered the +15mm HR spacers.

I'm running 50 offset with a very small (5mm I think) spacer in the front, and a 1" adaptors in the rear. I have had a bit of rubbing from the rear fenders, but that will go away when I roll them a bit.

I remember you asking questions before Bucktown, and I was going to show you the Spacers at Stillen day, but you took off to Quickly.



Hrmmmmm, Can't post any pics, they are too big. Check my Homepage for pictures....

If those are the new rims in your sig, it doesn't look like you need spacers. Have any side shots?

Those look good. Do you want spacers because they are rubbing, or because you just want them out a bit?

You could probably get away with very small spacers, like 5mm, without running out of threads on your studs, but not much more. I'd actually rather run without spacers, buy my rear wheels won't even go on without them, and the fronts rub on the strut.
