I guess you could depending on the offset. I think it has to be +35 offset or something.

Yeah. I'm not sure what the size has to be. Mines are 16x8 with +38 offset. I need 10mm spacers in the back and 3 in the front.

Quick question about fitment.

I'm looking to toss on some Rota P45Rs, 18x9.5 +15. I'm looking to flush it out but my question is will they even fit with the tires on it? I'd be stretching 215 or 225/40s on them.

I have 17x7.5'' wheels with a +40 offset. If I roll my fenders completely flat, what thickness of spacer can I run to max out the offset? I've heard anywhere from 5mm to 20mm...Any input would help out.

Anyone?

Well, it's close to rubbing but I kinda pulled my fenders out a little bit and I was on a stretched 215 on a 8" rim so yeah, it depends on what tires you get too. Some tires are thicker then others.

If no one gets back to you on this with a definite answer, try contacting a local wheel shop that distribute wheel spacers, they may let you test some out for fitment.

it is. Lol. I'm using dunlop direzza dz101's and they're a tad bit thicker due to them having a rim protector on them.

im tearing my self between clutch and wheels.
do i need the clutch...probably not still feels ok and its not slipping so thats good but im wondering if i should go with chromium black instead of gold because they dont have any in gold

and i dont know if c.black will look good. what is the thinnest tire i can go? with 17x8.25?

215 would be fine, so would a 205. Some say stretching is a bad idea, I had a stretched 205 on my 8" it rode fine. I switched it to a 215. I went with 215 because I like the look of a wide tired but it caused me a rub a bit but it's perfect for what I'm looking for. I will take pictures when the weather clears up. I don't want my car touching snow. lol. It sticks out a little but but I like the look. Wait for the gold. Gold rims are amazing. My BBS's are gold and it looks amazing on a silver car.
