What size spacer for the front of me kouki
I need new tires for my front wheels. Currently i have 225/45/18 (in the picture below) on my 18x8 +35 Work XD-9's. I bought the car like this from a friend, i really want to improve the wheel fitment.
I ordered 235/40/18 this time and i know for sure it will hit the bottom perch for the spring on my coilovers. I don't have any spacers and right now there's barely a credit-card worth of clearance between the tire and coilover at that point. I need your guys input on what size spacer to run and even where's a good place to purchase them online. I don't mind running some negative camber up front and rolling/cutting the fender lips won't be a problem. Oh and i tried to search and failed Last edited by kairojya; 07-17-2008 at 10:17 PM.. |

at least 20MM bolt ons, and you don't need to cut the fender lip, just roll it flat.
this may help too: http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp heres a 17x9.5+12 on my S14 with 235/40/17 front, and 17x10 +18 235/40/17 rear your search button must not be working because all of your answers can be found here: http://zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=129865 [/endspoonfeeding] |

i had 25mm on mine. they were 17x9 35 its been a while but i think the tires were 235x40 or 35?? . they fit nicely. i had to roll the rear a little. the front did stick out a little tho. if i did it over i would go with 20-25 in rear and 15 up front. nice car btw!

you searched? dude. you cant fail. look at the wheel fitment thread. find someone with the same wheel diameter/width. take your offset, subtract their offset, and get that size spacer.
id say around a 20 mil with those tires. a 25mil w/ 215/40s |

For future reference, you could have just measured the distance of the gap between the wheel and the fender then find the closest spacer.

and i've looked through most of the Wheel Fitment Whore thread a couple months ago, can't remember seeing anyone with my size wheel up front, a lot of 17x9's though, just wanted a quick answer so i can order spacers tomorrow so i can get the car back on the road again soon So where's a good place to order from? Are the Ichiba ones in the thread below good quality? I've never dealt with spacers before http://zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=198436 ? Thanks |

25 mill spacers in the front and some 30 mill spacers in the back. Done and Done. You really cant just get it for the front cuz it would look dumb.

Personally I'd get 38mm (1.5") spacers and 215/35's, but I don't know if you're into that haha. |

the rear is a different story, since the accident yesterday i will probably get overfenders while repairing the drivers side rear QP and will be able to run wider wheels. I just realized i said in the first post that my front wheels are 18x9 when they are actually 18x8, the rears are 18x9 (not sure of offset off the top of my head). crappy sizing if you ask me but hey like i said the car came like this when i bought it so there wasn't really much i could do, next wheels we definitely be more tastefull for the money |

second you do not need to stretch a 9+10. i have a 245 up front on a 9+15 with just a roll. it fits fine with a little over 2 degrees of camber. u could jam a 255 in there with more camber. third for your current 8+35's. outer clearance of a 9+13mm is roughly equivalent to an 8+0mm. so you need like a 35-40mm spacer. since a 9+15 is slightly sunk in the rear, the rear needs even more than that. i personally do not even know if thats available or safe. |

Yea i'm not planning on pushing the rears out that much, i don't like using spacers in the first place. I'd rather just buy the right size wheels
but until i get new wheels i have to space the fronts out at least 10mm so i guess i'll go with a 15 for now |
