Default Spacers

I'm currently running Volk SF-Challenges 8.5 front and 9.5 rear w/ Offsets 21 and 23 i believe. I want to get the wheels more flush with my car and I was looking at Kic's Project Spacers but I'm unsure of what size spacer to get. Can any of you help me out with the calculations? Thanks

you can get an idea by just putting a ruler (with mm increments) against the tire wall and see how many MM it would take to get them out to where you think it will look okay. make sure to take into consideration the fenders (you might need to roll them)

I'd go with 10mm. 15mm are a little easier to find but you will have to roll your fenders unless you are running stretched tires and a lot of negative camber.

I put 20mm Project kics on my rears. The wheels are 10" width with +37mm offsets. My fenders are rolled, no rubbing. Camber is running at -1.6 degrees.

+1. The last I heard, they were backed ordered like crazy. But that's been about three weeks now.

Why dont you just measure how much clearance from the fender now? That will tell you how wide of a spacer you can run.

When you meaure your wheel gap to determine how large of a spacer you need, I'd suggest measuring towards the top of the fender rather than the bottom just as a rule.

Our fenders are not even- the top sticks out a little more than the bottom. If you measure from the bottom you'll still have a gap on the top.

I personally think that having the wheels flush at the top so that they flare out a tiny bit towards the bottom of the fender is a great look.
