Front & Rear Spacer Sizes to make Stock Rims Flush

[amusante]

Anyone know the spacer sizes I should order to make my Stock Rims on Stock Ride Height flush?

You could probably put level to the fender and the ground and then measure between the wheel lip and the level. Convert that to metric MM and you got yourself some measurements to go by. You'll have to do this for the front and the rear since the distance between the fender and the hub is different

If you're planning on keeping the ride height stock, you'll be safe running 20mm without rubbing issues. If you want a "truly" flush look, 25mm but you will rub.

Word of advice, get hub-centric spacers.

Here is my old setup, maybe it will help in some way

GTF ~25"

225 tires
Stock 17" wheels
15mm Spacers rear 10mm front
No Rubbing
2.5" Wheel Stud Conversion

+1 on the hub centric advice. If you don't, you'll be vibrating.

What brand/Kit did you go with? I'm looking at ECS right now and they have spacers with the Ball Seat Bolts and Conical Seat Bolts. Any Difference? Also, would these be considered Hub Centric?

Thank you!

Those ARE hubcentric. See they have that lip your wheel hooks onto? its the same lip on your hub. For ball vs conical, it depends on your wheel. General rule is OEM=Ball. Aftermarket wheels are usually Conical.

I have a set of (4)original hubcentric 15 mm MTM spacers with lug bolts, looks great with stock rims, with very small usage and never seen snow or salt. PM me if interested .

The ones I had on in that pic were H&R hubcentric for the front 10mm set and the rears were NON-hubcentric generic dual pattern 15mm. Never had any issues with vibrations despite the rear not being hubcentric. Although to be fair getting things center and happy is much easier with studs vs wheel bolts.

Hubcentric do make installs easier and less likely to vibrate, but its not impossible without them. Plenty of my old mopars never had hubcentric wheels or spacers, and were never an issue. I usually get everything just about snug then give the wheel a good spin and tighten simultaneously. Its been working for me but maybe I am just on a string of good luck.
