Wheel Spacers!, Questions! Lol. Options

I have some info for you as well...

1) studs on your car has 24mm length (not whole but just that part outside the hub)
2) when you install bigger spacer than 5mm you need to replace your OEM studs with some longer.

so...
5mm - just install them (no need to do anything)
10mm - you need longer studs to install
15mm - you need longer studs to install
20mm - you have two options. a) longer studs to install or b) use spacers with own studs
25mm - you have two options. a) longer studs to install or b) use spacers with own studs
30mm - you should use spacers with own studs
35mm - you should use spacers with own studs

how big spacer you need depends on ET of your rims and width of the rim...

I have ET35 rims with width 7inches and it is looking like this with 20mm spacers (front and rear):







Those spacers are with own studs because even if it is less than length of OEM studs (for 4mm) like this:



It fits with no problem because wheels has some space on the rear side (I hope you know what I mean). Anyway since front is too much I decided to install there smaller once (10 or 5)... probably just 5mm to avoid changing the studs. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info. I'll keep this in mind.

Ok so I'm back here looking for spacers again. What size is best to where I can get my 7th gen gts rims as close as I can outward? Without having to roll my fenders? I read on a forum where it said the specs for the 7gc GTS rims is 16x6.5 +39 (205/50/R16 Advan tyres). I also read the other forum about "flush fit wheel fitment". That forum helped me out a bit but isn't the "flush wheel" look different for all rims because of the sizes?

according to the chart because you have 6.5 wide wheels with et39 to be flush you will need to bring the front offset to 0 and the rear to -15 which means you will need 39mm wide spacers for the front and 54mm spacers for the back which is ridiculous wide. and i dont think you can get a 39mm wide if there are spacer that wide would be 40mm for the front and 50mm or 55mm for the back. i wouldnt recommend that. it is extremely wide. if you want to be flush i would get other wheels. or just get 25mm all around to bring the wheels out more.
and you wont have to roll the fenders unless you car sits really low. if there is more than 2inches gap between your wheels and fenders dont worry about rolling them. it wont hit it. unless you have a lot of weight.

unless is this close to the fender dont roll it.
test your wheels then decide to roll it or not.

I don't what my lowering springs specs are but they're AG lowering springs. Don't know and never heard of it before but it's what my car was sitting on when I purchased it from the previous owner. I just want to bring it out as close to flush as possible without having to roll fenders or running aftermarket cambers. I was hoping someone in this forum had added spacers to their 7gc gts rims before and help me out.
