i was thinking about getting some spacers for my rear wheels so they would fill up the wheel well a little better. here is a picture of what my rear wheels look like now:


could i get some wheel spacers just for the rear and make the wheel stick out just a little bit more? would it mess up anything with my car?
hopefully it wouldnt make my tires rub, im on 225/50r17 tires.

Extended studs come with that particular kit. DEFINATELY install them.

 

whats the offset?.. My SSR's were 38mm offset and I used a 15mm spacer in the rear to make the tire flush with the fender.

 

I got the same 2k3 rims but in titanium and wanted to know the same thing, wont 15mm spacers make you rub a bit? with 235 45 17.

 

im not sure what the offset is on the OEM 2k2-2k3 SE wheels. im thinkin maybe a 15mm will work good.

 

hmm well i doubt it, maybe 20 to 25 for those.. remember my SSR's (16x8: +38) were flush in front with the stock offset and I used the 15mm spacer in the rear. You rims like like possibly 45mm+/- offset, so you needs a bigger spacer and I would recommend it for the front and back.

.. k just looked at an old message NMexMax sent me and he said that he saw a car with 5th Gen (17x7: +45mm) with a 25mm in the as.s and said it looked good.

 

The OEM 2k3 17's are 45 mm offset.
But keep in mind it was a 5th gen.

I have 2k3 Ti 17's on my 4th gen and personally the 15mm might just be a bit much.

I have 15mm spacers on my 03.. they look good with 17x8, +45...

Maybe I should try and trade the 15mm spacers from the 4th to 5th gen... usning the 2k3 Ti's.. .. See how they fit.

 

Thanks for clearing that up, I was wondering where you were..

 

alright, so i should get maybe 25mm spacers for the rear? i dont really think i need them for the front, they already fill up the front wheel well pretty good

 

use a tape measure to see how much spacr u have from teh tire sidewall to the egde of fender then decide how thick u want

 

I guess my post was not read thoroughly by the OP..

 

my bad, i just barley read it thoroughly . i guess i should go with 15mm for the back, see what it looks like.

 

Do measurements 1st, I'm just going by what I see on mine.

I'm also on 235-45-17's...

 

ya ill do some measurements. and actually, like i said in my first post, i am on 225-50-17's. so they fill the wheel wells better.

 

yea and i am on 235/45/17s....it depends what offset ur rims are too so it could very from car to car if the wheels have different offsets..so ur tires may fill the wheel wells better in terms of wheel gap because the sidewalls are 7mm bigger..in terms of wheels spacers is does nothing
