I purchased a set of D spec 2 Racing Sparco wheels and all 4 were 18x9 with +32 offset.....they fit the rears perfectly with about 1 inch clearance from the rear brembos but it DOES NOT FIT the fronts....now I have two choices..either get spacers and studs OR get the 18x9.5 with +22 offset....I'm really leaning to the JDM look like Advans when they put wider rims on the front, BUT I dont know if a +22 offset and a wider rim will clear the front brembos....I need at least 8/10 of an inch and i dont know how to calculate the offset and rim width differences....if i can achieve a 8/10 inch increase it would be perfect...PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!! PS...another option was an 18x10 +22 offset for front..

 

Help!!!

 

You can run the 18x9.5 +22 make sure they are the high disk wheel.

 

If you really need 8/10" then you need a 25.4 * 8 / 10 spacer which is 20mm. That is one big-a$$ spacer.

I find it hard to believe that an 18x9 32 offset wheel won't clear the caliper but will clear the spring.

 

Hi,

I just got TE37 18x9" with a 40mm offset and they cleared the stock brembos and the spring perch with 245/645-18 tires.

I also used to run SE37k's 17x9 40mm and they also cleared with 245/40 Hoosiers - which run quite wide.

ARVSHOP, Are you sure about the 8/10ths of an inch? Try to use a few 5/8" bolt diameter washers in between the hub and the wheel as spacers. See how many you need to clear the caliper. If the 8/10ths is correct then you'd need a 32mm - 8/10ths" = 12mm offset which might be the appropriate offset to clear the caliper, but not for fender clearance. Also, a 22mm offset wheel might stick out the rubber too far out past the fenders even if you manage to put a 245 tire on the 9.5" wheel. If you can return the wheels, you might want to stick with what fits.

Don't got out driving with the washers I mentioned in the above post! Use 'em just for STATIC fitment.

will 17x9 with 38mm offset fit?
