No.



Wrong section and no details.

Post in the wheels and tires.

There's no such thing as the "best" wheel spacers. There's good and there's crap. As long as they're hubcentric you should be fine.

yes, but not everybody wants the same look. i'm assuming the fronts and the rears are both hubcentric?

I was running 15mm up front and 25mm in the rear for some time. I sold the 15mm and will now be running 10mm up front with extended studs and the same 25mm in the rear.

I need some spacers on mine.. and wheels... lol. as long as you get decent ones it shouldn't matter what size (strength-wise) but with factory offset you may want some thick ones. Chris helped me out with deciding what I wanted so I'd take his advice^^^

dude, get out there and measure. Without seeing your car or knowing your wheel setup we cant give you any real input.

You need to measure. You can't just guess what size to get.

1 inch = 25mm so go from there and do the math. If you can't do it, tell us your wheel specs.

Just to understand this further and maybe help some other ones in the dark:

----------] <--- this is the outside of the wheel well/ fender
-------] <----- this is the side wall of your tire

______<> is the gap you need to measure to push the side wall out flush

Why not buy the wheels with the correct offset?

This is applicable if you have a set of tires from a rwd and they are staggered.
