Wheel spacers- choosing the right ones

[maidest]

Hey guys, I have v701 19s ET35 and I'm trying to get them flush with the fender in the front and rear. So I've been checking these ones (http://shop.achtuning.com/handrdrseries571mmcenterborewheelspacers.aspx)out and am thinking of going 8mm in the front and 12mm in the rear. What do you guys think of that link/ what size do you think I should get? Also, what lug bolts do you recommend me buying? Any past experiences would be great, TIA[wrench]

I think you'll probably be out a bit too far with 8s and 12s with ET35. I had mine looking good with 10mm up front and 12mm in the rear, but I was using ET42 wheels. Doing the math, to get the same look, you'd need a 7mm smaller spacer.

I'd try doing 5s all around and see what that looks like. Honestly, ET35 should be really close to flush already. Maybe ask around locally to see if you can do a test-fit on somebody else's spacers before dropping the money. Good luck.

thanks for the info man, maybe I'll try 5 in the front 8 in the rear then, because there is some room for sure in the rear that needs to be pushed out. As far as install goes, how do spacers work is it a DIY?

Spacer install is DIY: take off wheel, put on spacer, put wheel back on.

our offsets are already pretty aggressive, the face of the wheel is going to be flush with the fender. You may have a few mm's to play with in the rear, but put the wheels on first and see how you like the look before purchasing spacers.

Your front should be pretty much flush. You could maybe do a 5 in the rear.

i have 19x8.5 ET 35 with an 8mm spacer rear and 7mm front with 225 tires. Thats about as flush as you want to get without some camber dialed in. I rub a tad here and there so if you want, go like 5mm as suggested above. If you are running a 235 tire you would have to go lower than that or no spacer at all.

If you want to go outside the box with fitment, see the wheel topic in the b7 section! the canned response here will be you cant run anything but ET35 and 235's.

Not aggressive enough, wheels have been on a few months already (see my New Stuff thread with pics) the wheels are not close to flush in the rear, I think I need 8mm for the rear. Front isn't bad though you're right about that.
