    Cut and dry. I want to get wheel spacers. What sizes do you guys recommend? I want to give the 4.2 a more aggressive stance.

    Re: Wheel Spacer Question...

    I have 5mm H&R spacers all around with 19x9.5" wheels et 35, 245/35/19 rubber.

    Pushes the wheels almost flush with the fenders.

    Key is to find a set of wheels you like first, then get offset measurements so you can determine what size spacers you need for the look you want.

    Re: Wheel Spacer Question...

    ok heres what you should do imo measure the distance between the tire and the inside edge of the fender and see what it is and then get the spacer thats a few mm less to account for suspention travel, is your car lowered (looks like it is from your avatar) take that and the road conditions where you drive in to account, and then make sure the spavers you get are hubcentric the size of the hub is 57.1mm if i recall corectly. btw post some pics!

    Thanks for the advice guys

    Will post pics in a few weeks. Need to pay off some hospital bills before I can go through with the spacers.
