Spacers for Veilside V3
Hi guys my brother is getting the wide arch veilside V3 kit, he has Volk GT-S wheels, 19x10.5 rear and 19x9.5. Does anyone know what size spacers he will need so that the wheels dont look swallowed with the mahooosive arches cheers

Easy.
1. Find a ruler that measures in millimeters
2. Measure gap between tire and the fender, leaving a little clearance for suspension travel.
3. Buy spacer that is closest to the size you came up with.

cheers guys I havnt lowered it but think i will probably have to shave the rear arch a bit, which sucks. Do spacers pose any problems in the future?

Good luck on the project. I am planning to do the fender flares on mine in the two months. Keep me posted on the problems you run into. And some pics would be nice!

I also have a question, I am thinking of buying the fender flares sometime this month. I want 19's and I really like the staggered look with the big lip on the back, but I don't know what width and offset I would need? Or is this going to have to be a custom order?

As far as wheel sizes, I am pretty sure we have the sizes from our demo car on the website.
But wheel fitment is an interesting thing.
it depends on ride height, wheel size, tire size, tire brand (some tires of the SAME size but DIFFERENT bands, are totally different), Camber, etc....
