    Wheel Spacer Advice!

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey guys,

    I know this is a timeless subject but I’d likr some opinions/advice.

    I’m looking at 19x8.5 rims with 45et

    As far as I’m aware, Cavos are 19x8.5 32et

    For a flush fit on cavos it requires a 12.5mm spacer in the front and a 15mm spacer in the back.

    To which, to get a flush fit with these new wheels, I believe that’d mean I’d need a 25.5mm spacer in front and 28mm spacer in the back. Is this correct?

    Also to which, any recommendations for alternatives or ways to get close otherwise?

    Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

    I'm not sure what your budget is, but if you are going to spend money on wheels why not get some that don't need spacers in the first place or at least ones with a closer offset?

    Yep, agreed. That’s what I did with the help from Mops. The wait for custom wheels was easily worth it.

    I think you guys have a good point. Makes more sense than trying to accommodate for something less ideal. Thank you for your input!

    Yeah, I would look for something around 9-9.5 ET25 or 10 ET30. Check out the Neuspeed RSe102. Great looking wheel and killer value.
