I need some spacers on my new wheels and was wondering if anyone knows what to measure to find out what size spacers to use with aftermarket rims. Also is 25MM too big for the rears and what size shoulk I get on the front? My rims are 18X7.5 with a 45mm offset so they are tucked in as much as if not more than the stock wheels. Thanks for you help!

Ok, so next question I have is how can I figure out what size spacers would work best, what do I measure?

 

measure the horizontal distance between the inside of the wheel well till the fartherst outward point on the wheel. id guess id be about 20-25 for a stock rim. i just added my 12.7mms and im lowered more than u are(most of the time) and i dont have much clearance, id say less than 2cms but im useing stock rims. ive seen 20mms on stock rims but never on a car as low as mine.

 

the easiest way i used to measure the amount of spacing needed is to go to a local hardware store and buy some washers... start stacking washers on your studs, making it even.. then put the wheel on for viewing purposes and if it looks like it clears what u need or how it looks, then measure the washers and that will give u an exact distance of the amount of spacing needed...

 

I used to have 18x7.5" (+45mm offset) rims with 25mm spacers in the rear on my 4th gen. The tires would slightly rub whenever I went over large bumps, but after I rolled the fender lip, no more rubbing.

 

Same here...

 

Ok, so it looks like 20mm would probably be the best...I'll let you guys know how it turns out! Thanks for all of your help!
