? about spacer thickness

For everybody that have or has had wheel spacers, what thickness would bring the rear stock wheels out close to flush with the fenders? I bought a set of 5mm, but after putting them on, I don't see any difference. I tried doubling the two 5's to simulate a 10mm, but don't see much improvement there either. Maybe going to a 15mm or even 20mm?

I think most go with 20mm spacers. I've been looking into purchasing these myself.

Those rear tires cannot come out far enough!

LOL, I hear ya there. I'd like them to be out as far as the fronts. I did google hubcentric wheel spacers and got a few hits that offered close to what I was looking for. The offerings were 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 mm, so I wasn't too sure as to what would work.

15mm will make them equal with the fronts.

I have 15mm in the rear, and it makes them even with the front (no spacers in the front). If you want to get your stock rear wheels flush, I would go with 20mm.

according to the manual, the difference between front and rear thread is 20mm.

20mm rear


(may look different side to side due to Uncentered Rear Beam)

First of all I'm new here and this is my first post, I am also interested in these for my '03 Max. I was looking at the Version I at ICHIBAUSA but I'm unsure of how these install on the car. I want to make all 4 wheels flush and know which size I need but do these go right over the stock hub or do they replace the stock hub?

They go between the brake caliper and wheel.
