Hey guys, I need to pick up some spacers for my rims and was wondering if the following sizes sound right. I measured everything last night and it looks like I need 15mm spacers in the front and 25mm on the rears. The rims are 18x7.5 with a 45mm offset. Thanks!

 

i can check later today. I have 25mm in the front so I'll throw on my 18x7.5 w/ 40 offest. If that clears, then I'm pretty sure you are good to go.

btw, mike or anyone from d2 hasn't contacted me yet. How long did it take for them to contact you?

 

If they haven't contacted you call them back. Mike seems to be a busy guy so I haven't left any messages for him, I just call back...

 

What size tires are you running? I'm assuming you need the spacers to clear a BBK?

I'm fairly sure you will rub in the front with the wheels turned and hitting bumps/dips because we have a stupid plastic "tab" that sticks out from the plastic fender well liner. The 30mm offset will make the wheel pushed out quite considerably. Overall you should be fine depending on your ride height and suspension setup (the adjustability of coilovers can partially fix this)

 

Actually I am not running a BBK. I bought some rims with the wrong offset and they are set in as much if not a little more than the stock rims are. I switched out from a coilover setup to a spring/strut combo so I need to get the wheels out more so they will look good. Sorry, I am not sure what size the tires are but will post later when i get home. On another note I really like your new rims Larrio!!

 

18x7.5 with a 45mm offset isn't all too bad. The stockers are 17x7 with 45mm (IIRC). Why did you decide to use a 15mm spacer? That would reduce the offset of the wheels to 30mm, pushing them outwards. If you are not running a BBK, just go with 5mm spacers.

thanks

 

I measured the gap between my fender and the wheel and figured out that to bring the wheel flush with the side of the car I would need about 1.5" in the back and 1.25" in the front so that's what I'm basing my choice of spacers on. I'm going for the BMW look so would like my wheels not looking so sunken into the wheel well. I've never had spacers before so....I appreciate your input Larrio, you've been a big help to me and especially in the past when I had my D2's, just want to say THANKS!!!!

 

You can kinda see the amount of gap I have in the first few pics...

I want my wheels to sit EXACTLY like they do on your car with the use of spacers....I know my car will never look as good as yours, but I sure can try can't I??
