A couple weeks ago I asked about if is it possible to fit a 17x9; offset 35 mm, with 255/40/17 to the rear wheels, well it fit!!! jut for 1 or 2 mm!!

My problem now is in the front wheels, 17x8; offset 35 mm., do not clear the brembos, the I suppoused I might use some spacer, but of how many mm??? stock TME wheels are 38 mm offset, this new ones are 35mm, should I get 3 mm spacer?
Seems like I need more space, but the wheel spec are 35 mm off set.

BTW: My car is a evo 6 RS2

 

You cannot run staggered set-up on all wheel drive cars!!!

I responded to a thread about a week ago, not sure if it was yours, a 17x8 35et will not fit the front. Put the 17x9 up front and the 8 on back. That would help handling better anyway. FYI, it will look like ****

 

Should I change the question... How do I fit 17x8; 35 mm offset in the front???
I'm goungo to use same tire front and rear. Then all wheels will have same diameter.

 

It all depends on the design of your particular wheels. Get a bunch of washers and keep adding them (equal number on each stud) until you can bolt on the wheels with adequate clearance. Then measure the thickness of the washer stack. That's how thick your spacer needs to be.

 

That is a good idea.!!
What is the bigest spacer that I can use before changing the studs?
If I change the studs what king of wheel studs should I get?

 

I wouldn't go past 5mm without changing them. Some spacers come with them. For example, 5mm H&R spacers come with studs that are 5mm longer than stock. If you are using a thin spacer, I would get longer studs from Racing Brake. They are around 12-15mm longer than stock. If you have a thick spacer (15+mm), then I would get the ARP studs.

wrong. you can stagger offsets to some extent as long as the tire sizes remain the same on all 4 wheels.
