Please help,

it's going to vary depending on the spoke design. if you post up which gramlights (and what width) you're looking at and what tire size you're trying to use, maybe someone could help. best bet is to just take out a ruler though.

 

10 mm.

 

The wheels are Gramlight 57c's and they are 17 x 8.5

 

Correct me if im wrong, but in that case, wouldnt 15mm with a 245-45-17 be flush with no rubbing?

 

the tires im running are 245/50/17

 

well in that case i guess just to make sure you dont rub run the 10mm spacer. How low are you dropped? I think you'll possibly rub on the inside for your fender. It just depends on what setup you're running.

 

Running JIC Coilovers and its pretty low.

 

Yeah I say run the 10mm. If you were to run 15mm it would be more flush, but just to make sure you dont rub i would say run 10mm. We usually run 245-40-18 for evo's and no matter how low the car is dropped we really dont see rubbing issues. If you want, take a look at our wheels @ www.ssixproject.com. We have an exclusive fitment for EVO's.

 

Ok here is what I got, I did a 7mm spacer in front and nothing in the rear. I used my stock lugs but im thinking i need diffrent lugs cause those washers on the OEM lugs are not in contact with the wheels.

Also I was only able to get 4 1/2 to 5 turns on the lug do i need longer studs? and will I be safe till I order them and get them in?

Thanks

 

4 turns should be good. If you want full contact I would say to try and fine tuner style cone seat lug-nut set.

 

Just picked up a set of Rays lugs, thanks for all the help guys
