here is a good way to decide what size spacers you need... first what is the offset of the wheels you have/want to buy? for instance i had a 55 offset wheel and wanted to get to 30 offset to make them flush with my fenders. i used a 25mm spacer/adaptor (went with 5x114.3 wheels on my old WRX) i dont know what offset works best with the 15+ cars since the body design is different but it shouldnt b too hard to find that. then do simple math and have your answer

We have many different wheel spacers in stock. Link is below friend.

My wheels I bought are 18x10 36+

You needs flares. Spacers won't be known until you would do a test fit. Without flares you'll have negative camber like crazy.

 

[War_Panda04]

do you have tires for them already? or a desired tire size you want to run? wheel fitment has a lot of variables that come into play. suspension setup (ride height), tire size, offset, rim width. etc. give me all those details and i may be able to help you out some more. like [MENTION=1597]SMY Performance[/MENTION] said. test fit with the suspension setup you want and tire size you want will get you the best idea of how big a spacer you will need if any. if you can avoid spacers I would. best handling characteristics will be with rim on hub, no spacer in between.

 

[Taranto217]

I have stock suspension.

 

[Taranto217]

265-35-18 is the tires I thought I should run

 

[Taranto217]

So it would be stock suspension
265-35-18 tires
18x10 +36 wheels

 

[War_Panda04]

35 is a low profile dude. how are the roads by you? gotta be careful driving then

 

[Taranto217]

The I better stick with 265-40-18 I haven't bought the tires yet

 

[Taranto217]

I'm use to truck dimension tires lol

 

[War_Panda04]

yea 40 would b a better option and will eat up a bit of the wheel gap. i would suggest buying the tires and mounting the wheels with no spacers and see how much room is left. i can tell you right now you should roll the fenders. professionally. then see what your working with

 

[Taranto217]

Well I have to have the spacers bc the rims hit on the front brakes

 

[War_Panda04]

ahhh now we have an issue. now you have to measure the amount of space needed to clear the Brembo's. that will tell you the spacer you need but i would add a little extra to make sure there is room.

 

[Taranto217]

Yeah. I kno a 1/4 will let them clear. Which is about a 8mm so I think a size up would be perfect

 

[Taranto217]

I say 12mm would be good

 

[War_Panda04]

i would do a 10mm spacer then.

 

[Taranto217]

Ok but 10mm wouldn't have the the lip to make the hub centric like [MENTION=652]Grinder34[/MENTION] said earlier

 

[War_Panda04]

probably not. in my experience (i could be wrong) the smallest spacer with the hub centric is 15mm which will be too much for you to run without camber or flares.

 

[Taranto217]

Sounds like I just need to sell these wheels and go a different route
