What Wheel Spacer Size for Flush Fit Options

[Harold_Fastwaker]

I am trying to flush my "new" set of wheels on my celica. I have a list of measurements I just took and I am unsure if I did this right or not. I am also trying to figure out what tires I need but figure I will wait till I have spacers in to test out how the fitment will be. Then I will figure out what tire to wrap it with.


I have seen a celica running 19x8 +35 on the front and 19x9.5 +35 on the back with a fender roll and slight pull and it fit.


So here is my measurement list:

Currently I have 17x7 +40 with 225/45 R17 tires (all 4 wheels)
I have 1 inch spacing between the inside of my current tire and my strut housing.


I am trying to mount 17x8.5 +56 on the front and 17x9.5 +56 on the rear. From my measuring it seemed almost like I needed close to a 2inch spacer in the rear but that would definitely be alot lower than a +35. I figured I needed a 1 inch spacer in the front.


Anyone able to help me solve this issue.

problem is, thats a HUGE spacer, not sure they make them that big, I would try a 20mm on the front to see how it turns out, to be honesty, if u want the rears to be flush, your out of luck cuz your looking at almost 3 inches, i dont even think your studs are long enough for that much of a spacer

1 inch spacers are not an issue. Even 2 inch spacers are easy to get, they come with new studs attached.



I am looking at going 1 inch in the front and 1.3 in the rear. This should push the inside tire 10mm closer to the strut in the front and 15mm closer in the rear. The front will then bump out 28mm (1.1inch) and 49mm (close to 2 inches) in the rear.

studs holding a spacer on with studs coming out, doesn't sound right to me, anyways, i didn't no they made them that big, but i gues thats awesome!

No, spacers that big are NOT good. It's too much pressure on the studs and they'll snap. Your best bet is to get extended studs or sell the wheels.


I've got a set of wheels with an offset of +48, and the most I'm willing to go is a 15mm spacer (.59") to get out to +33, but 10mm spacers (.39") to come out to +38.


+56 offset though...... those aren't going to work with spacers alone. You're going to need extended studs for that.

Yeah, I see those on fourwheelers all the time. Haven't really seen any for a car, but I don't know why they wouldn't make them.

1.25" 5x100 spacer. Looks sketchy.
