I'm going to be installing coil overs soon and I'd really like to have spacers by the time I get the coilovers. I don't wanna be completely hella flush, but I don't want my wheels to be sunken in. I have 17x7.5 wheels with a 45mm offset and I'm about to have Falken Ziex 512's all around (215/45/17). What size spacers would I need to be pretty flush? I've read the other topics on this, but I'm still not sure how to add up the math with the offsets. Help would be AWESOME.

Yeah those spacers are going to be huge.
And the top strut bolts are only like 18lbs/ft. You'll shear the studs if you go too high. Lug nuts I have always done 100lbs/ft, and the two knuckle bolts I have never torqued, I have just tightened them as much as I can and called it a day. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money
