What Wheel Spacer Size for Flush Fit Options

[Harold_Fastwaker]

I am trying to flush my "new" set of wheels on my celica. I have a list of measurements I just took and I am unsure if I did this right or not. I am also trying to figure out what tires I need but figure I will wait till I have spacers in to test out how the fitment will be. Then I will figure out what tire to wrap it with.


I have seen a celica running 19x8 +35 on the front and 19x9.5 +35 on the back with a fender roll and slight pull and it fit.


So here is my measurement list:

Currently I have 17x7 +40 with 225/45 R17 tires (all 4 wheels)
I have 1 inch spacing between the inside of my current tire and my strut housing.


I am trying to mount 17x8.5 +56 on the front and 17x9.5 +56 on the rear. From my measuring it seemed almost like I needed close to a 2inch spacer in the rear but that would definitely be alot lower than a +35. I figured I needed a 1 inch spacer in the front.


Anyone able to help me solve this issue.

Sometimes I feel like the celica community lives under a rock. LOL

VW guys have been running 1.3inch spacers or larger for quite some time now. How do you think they fit Bentley, Lambo, Merc, etc wheels on the car.

Now, if I were to build a track car, Hell no I wouldnt run these spacers. But as my DD which sees less than 10k miles a year, you bet.


Those spacers you posted look like pep boys crap.

Yeah spacers are real common just not on Celicas. I had 3" spacers on each side of my Jeep and I bet the crap out of that thing on and off road. I broke axles and other parts but never a spacer. I plan on running 2" spacers on each side of my Toyota truck if I ever get the thing lifted. Everything is caputered in between the hub, spacer adn wheel, I see no reason to worry unless you have enough power to break all 5 studs at once.
