what size wheel spacers should i get, to get 17x7 wheels as close to the fender as possible. I don't want them to over lap, or cause the wheel to set to far out on the lugs, which i know kinda limits the size avab.

Wheel offset is also important to the calculation. The lower the offset, the smaller the wheel spacer needs to be. I think that the stock wheels use a 38 offset on a 7 inch rim, however I am not sure. Someone please correct me if I am wrong. You can use a wheel offset calculator and do some measuring of clearances on your car to find out how much further you want the wheel to stick out to get your answer.
Here is a wheel offset caculator: Wheel offset calculator Jay. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |
