Default Got staggered 18" M-Sports and need Spacers for front? Help?

I just got the 18" X 8.5 front and 18" X 9.5 rears ADR M-Sport and now I need 20mm spacers for the front to clear the brembos.

I need help with two issues:

First does anyone know what size (in mm) the radius of the hub (the center part attached to the rotors) where the spcer will be mounted?

Second I am concered that by having to put a 20mm spacers in the front that the front might stick out farther than the rears, ( Anyone have any input?)

Also, does anyone know where I could get spacers in So Cal?

Thanks

Can't help you with sizes since I didn't need spacers w/ my ADRs. You can get spacers at Performance Nissan.

What are your offsets? Radius of hub is ~66.1 - 66.2 mm

Default Thanks for help

The offsets on the rims are +35

The shop measured and told me that I have to get 20mm spacers. Taking into account the 8.5 in front and 9.5 in the rear I am worried that the front might be more flush in the wheel well than the rears.

Are offsets in the rear 35 also? If it is, you should get spacers for the rear then...15mm.

Default Yes offsets the same

+35 offsets in the front and back.

I have been trying to figure out the measurements and here is where I am:

Staggered 8.5 front and 9.5 in rear

So the rear are 1 inch = 25.4mm wider
I need 20mm spacers in the front to clear the brembos.

So theoretically i should have at least 5.4 mmwider in the rear. I have the rear wheels installed on the car and I think I have about 5 or 10mm in the rear before the wheel sticks out from the wheel well if I need it.

Does this sound right or am I off?

Does anyone have any experience with these rims on a track model with brembos?

Thanks for your input.

ok guys this is the deal with an offset of +35 all around on 8.5 fronts and 9.5 rears you want an offset of either 15 for front and 20 in the rear.

the safest route with offset on staggered set ups of 8.5 and 9.5s are +15 for front and +20 in rear.


so what you have just subtract.

with all 4 wheels being +35, you need

20mm spacers for front

and 15mm spacers for rear.


hope that helps
