50mm Spacers
Has anyone ran this size spacer before? And dont say, "just buy lower offset wheels!" My car came with low offset wheels already from the previous owner and their sunken into the wheel well. So 50mm (2") is needed for the rears to be flush, and 38mm (1.5") is needed for the fronts to be flush. Would this be fine for DD? I do not track, or drag, or anything my car, just DD. Sits on stock suspension for now btw.
I really don't understand why people get rid of the stock wheels to go to something worse.

Fixed. If the car is on stock suspension and it drives fine the way it is, why put the added stress on your hubs with such large spacers? In the long run you may be spending money on spacers just to spend more money if something were to break. I guess I won't tell you to buy wheels with your desired offset...but I'm thinking it. Good luck.

By my estimates - he'd have to be running 245's in the rear with a +30 offset and that's with rolled, pulled, and negative camber to need a 50mm unless his rears sit drastically different than mine after an alignment.
there is no way you have that big of a gap unless you have 8.5 width in the back and if so your car must be lookin hellaNasty.. 50mm spacers is not at all good for you if thats what you need to be flush. get new wheels..
Original setup - When I was dropped with some negative camber, I was running 38mm spacers in front and 30mm spacers in the rear with a +30 offset (weaksauce). That was with a 285 rear and 245 front & rolled/pulled rear fenders and constant rubbing.

Thanks for the numbers though. I'm going to put those in my notes. Who knows when I'll need them, but I might some day.

If you dont believe me, look at the pics for yourself LOL. Has major space between then wheels and the fenders. Oh well, oh and their 20's Non-The Less. I really wish I knew the previous owner so I could slap them in the face LOL.
