lol, no its not. Just over 2 inches. I dunno if I would really want to run that though. Definitely feel the wear and tear on the car quicker.


I wouldn't go much beyond a 1.5 inch spacer.

So pretty much, buy a 7.5in wide wheel to start with if you want it flush.

Front
8.5" ---------- et+27mm
Rear
8.5" ---------- et+10mm

so you need 45-27= 18mm spacer for flush in front
45-10 = 35mm spacer in rear for flush

don't think anyone has done 19x8.5 in the front, but it should work with a 215/35/19. for spacers you'd want 15mm front and 30mm rear if you want it flush.

what about 16x6.5" and ET39, With a test fit I've concluded that a 10mm spacer will be enough to clear my gt4 calipers but if I'm getting spacers and longer studs anyways I may as well make it flush with the fender right?

Heya,

gettin new rims in the spring, and Ive been thinking that 17" and 7,5" or 8" width should be ok for me..
what ET should I be looking for a flush look?
The car is lowered on Tein-springs.

And it should also be able to cope with the gt4 monster calipers.
and I really wouldn´t like to use spacers..!

look at the link in my sig to the flush wheel guide. It will answer both of your questions.

I was looking at these set of Konig Lace rims, 18x8 with a 45 offset, the car is lowerd on tiens s techs. I read the the guide and I'm pretty sure these will fit, but does anyone know what size tire would work? I was thinking a 225/40/18 tire, can anyone give me some input on this?

That's a close one, I dunno if that'll clear the front fenders w/out rolling them. IIRC 19x8 will fit up front, but I dunno for sure about 8.5

Ok so I got some new wheels. They are 17 x 7.0. If I am understanding this correctly, in order for my wheels to be flush, I need (7.0"-----30mm with 15mm spacer (effectively 15mm) *) a 15mm wheel spacer. I went to our local part store and the only wheel spacers they have are 7.94mm. So I was wondering if it would be ok if I bought 2 of the 7.94mm and put them together on each wheel. (safe wise) I know it will be 15.88mm if i do that, .88mm more than needed. But will it be safe if i put 2 wheel spacers on 1 wheel. Thanks in advanced for any responces, Sorry if this is a stupid question.

what are the offset of the wheels you have? It says you need a 30mm offset wheel with a 15mm spacer which effectively makes your wheel into a 15mm offset, but a 17x7 with a 30mm offset isn't exactly common.

anyway, you might be able to get away with running two spacers, but to be honest, I wouldn't do it, just in case. Just get some proper spacers and don't risk it. You also need extended wheel studs to run spacers btw.

Ok thanks for the respond. This might be a stupid question, but how do you find out what the off set is? On the reciept I got with the wheels, it says (CUSTOM 17" 5-100/114 DC024 CH) with tire size being 215/45/17 ATG. Does that mean anything for the off set? Or how do I find out what the offset is?

The offset is stamped on the inside of the rim itself...usually one of the spokes, it will say ET45 JJ or something like that

yep. should be stamped somewhere on the wheel on the back of the spoke or something. It'll say 17x7 JJ ET## or something similar. The ET # is the offset.

Ok so I check my wheel but was not sure if I read the print right, so I called the company I got the wheels from and gave them the invoice number. They said the wheels are a positive 40 offset. So they are 17x7.0 with a positive 40 offset. I did not see those numbers on the chart. Can somebody help me find out what wheel spacer I need to have the wheels sit flush with the body lines?

well, for the same 15 mm offset you were trying to achieve, you would need a 25mm, or 1 inch spacer. for a lowered car it calls for a 26mm offset, which you would want a 14mm spacer for, but they don't make those so I would go with a 15mm.

To be honest though, I would just run them without spacers for the time being, then measure how much you want it to come out for your ideal look and buy spacers of that size.
